Also some scenes may be familiar but this will have a very different outcome. "You got yourself a bet baby" Sebastian Valmont said with a confident smile as he extended his hand to his stepsister Kathryn Merteuil. They shook hands and exchanged matching evil smiles about what they just agreed upon. What once promised to be a typical boring summer was looking to have promise. When Sebastian had agreed to spend part of the summer at his aunt Helen's estate in the Hamptons he thought it would be the usual bullshit of sitting by the pool and screwing debutantes. That was until she told him about the young houseguest who would also be staying with him. Annette Hardgrove the daughter of the soon to be headmaster at his prestigious private school would be joining him. Not only was she the headmaster's daughter but she was also a glorified virgin. Sebastian read her article in seventeen magazine were she proclaimed her purity and he knew instantly that she was the challenge he was looking for. When he told his stepsister his plans she had as he expected scoffed at him "even this is out of your league." This had led to their typical bet but this time the wager was greater. Since his father had married her tramp mother, Sebastian and Kathryn had always shared a close if not slightly twisted relationship. He was a guy who was use to getting what he wanted from girls. All it usually took was a little charm and a few well chosen words and girls would usually flop on their backs at his command. All girls that is except for Kathryn. From the moment he saw her he wanted her and she knew it. She often used his lust for her as a weapon to get him to do, as she wanted. Sometimes it worked and sometimes like earlier that day when she asked him to take some boring nit wits virginity, it didn't. Kathryn was as smart as Sebastian and an even better manipulator. While Sebastian enjoyed having the worst reputation in town Kathryn prided herself on fooling everyone around her. She screwed around as much as him, took drugs, and did many more awful things yet to the outside world she was the model of what every parent wanted there teenage daughter to be. Sebastian had to admit Kathryn's ability to fuck with people was one of the things he loved about her. That and her tight ass. Since they met almost three years ago Sebastian had yet to fuck Kathryn. Oh they had fooled around hear and there, usually when she wanted something from him, but they had never slept together. If Sebastian did in fact fuck Annette that would all change. When Kathryn agreed to the bet her terms had been interesting to say the least. If she won she got his 1956 jaguar roadster, one of his most prized possessions next to his journal. If he won Kathryn told him she would fuck his brains out. Although this was almost too good to pass up Sebastian had turned her down in order to see what she would raise it to. When she purred "you can put it anywhere" that sealed it. There was no way he would lose now. "Well I'm off to pack. I don't want to keep my new friend waiting." Kathryn sat up on her bed "how long exactly are you going to be gone for?" He shrugged "probably till the end of the summer. Why will you miss me?" She snickered "please, I think I'll survive. Just make sure my car is in perfect condition when you bring it back." "Just make sure you don't contract any diseases while I'm away" he said with a confident sneer. Kathryn glared at him "see you later Sebastian." He left her room and went to his own to start packing. He was pulling out a few suits when Kathryn pranced in without knocking. He looked up at her "miss me already?" "I've decided to go with you," she told him as she sat on his bed. Sebastian stopped what he was doing and glanced down at her surprised by this little announcement. "I don't recall you being invited." "Please your aunt likes me more than you and I am family after all." Sebastian knew what she was saying was true. Every time he saw his aunt she was going on and on about Kathryn this and Kathryn that. The little witch could snow anyone. "I thought you were busy trying to ruin what's her name reputation? Have you decided to give up and let Court have her?" Kathryn's boyfriend had dumped her at the start of the summer for reasons unknown until recently. Apparently he had a thing for some fifteen year old, idiot, virgin, who Sebastian wouldn't fuck if he was paid to, much to Kathryn's annoyance. Kathryn's smile fell "never. I fully plan on ruining that stupid cunt for fucking with my life. However Court in is the Hamptons at the moment and I've gotten word that Cecil will soon be joining him. I figure I can get my revenge on them and make sure you lose this bet at the same time." Sebastian glared down at his stepsister who was smiling at him triumphantly. "I don't think so." Kathryn sat up and gave him a small pout "why not?" "Why on earth would I agree to let you come just so you can stop me from getting what I want? I know you'll just buddy up with this girl then tell her some bullshit about me." She scoffed "its not bullshit. Besides I know you want me to go. Just think of all the fun we can have together." She crawled across the bed to him and got up on her knees so they were at eye level. One hand rested on his chest and the other touched his face gently. "Don't think of me as your obstacle but as the reward at the end on the finish line. Keep your eye on the prize and I'm sure you can overcome any thing I throw at you." Sebastian wrapped on arm around her waist and let his hand fall down her ass. "Besides I bought a new bikini and everything." Sebastian smiled at her and traced a finger across her soft lips. "Ok Kathryn you can come, but if you pull anything I won't hesitate to take what I want without asking." "That almost sounds like a threat" He pulled her closer until they were almost kissing "try a promise." Kathryn pushed him away before there lips made contact "I better go pack." * * * * * * Two hours later they were speeding along the winding country roads that led to the Rosemond estate. "Jesus Christ could you possibly slow the fuck down?" Kathryn yelled at him as she fixed the large dark sunglasses on her face. Sebastian pressed his foot down harder and the car sped up even more. He turned to her with a smirk "that better?" "You're ruining my hair!" she yelled even though her hair was held back in a pony tail. Sebastian smirked "don't be such a pussy Kathryn." He suddenly turned quickly and came to an immediate stop before crashing into the large gate that guarded the property. "There I stopped, happy?" She whipped her head around at him "you are such an asshole." Sebastian smirked "ooh your so hot when your pissed." He then leaned over when the voice on the intercom asked what his business was at the estate and said, "it's Sebastian Valmont, open the fucking gates." Turning back to Kathryn, who was fixing her hair he warned, "now you better be on your best behavior. What would my dear aunt say if she heard you using language like that?" "Sebastian don't worry about me, worry about your challenge. If I were you I'd start praying she doesn't already know all about you." As the gates opened and he drove towards the house he asked, "How would she?" "This is New York people love to gossip, god knows what she's heard about you. It should be interesting," she said with a smile. As he pulled up to the front of the house several staff members greeted them. "Good after noon Mr. Valmont your aunt told us you would be arriving shortly. We'll bring your luggage up right away. Would you like your usual room?" Sebastian watched as two servants took the baggage out of his car. "Yes I would." "Which room would you like Ms. Merteuil?" Before Kathryn could answer Sebastian told him "she'll be staying in the room across from mine." She glared at him "I will be?" Sebastian placed a hand on her back and guided her out of earshot of the help. "I want you close by so that when I win I can collect my winnings right away." Kathryn gave him a fake smile "isn't that sweet, but Valmont I wouldn't count on it. I have no intention's of losing my car." "We'll see," he said as they walked down the stairs that led to the acres and acres of property. He sighed, "I wonder where the old goat is?" "Sebastian! I heard you arrived," said a familiar voice behind him. Both Sebastian and Kathryn immediately spun around and greeted Helen Rosemond as she came down the stairs. Sebastian wasn't worried about her overhearing what he just said because she was partially deaf. He ran up to her and gave her a hug "auntie! I missed you so much! You have no idea how happy I am to see you." Kathryn shook her head slightly at this. She was suppose to be the bullshit artist? Christ Sebastian could be just as bad when he wanted something. "Oh Sebastian I missed you too. I'm so happy your spending the summer with me. Oh and Kathryn, my favorite niece" she said as she approached her. Even though Kathryn wasn't technically blood related she still saw them as being related and favored Kathryn over her other two nieces. Kathryn gave the older women a hug "its good to see you too. Thank you so much for letting me come along." "Oh sweetheart think nothing of it. I told Sebastian to invite you but he said you were busy helping the blind children at St. Mary's this summer." Kathryn smiled over at Sebastian "did he? Well they had one to many volunteers so I decided to come with him. I really do love this place, it's so beautiful." "Thank you dear. Oh hear comes Annette, I just know you two will be the best of friends." Doubt it Kathryn thought as she turned around and saw the petite blond making her way over to them. As Kathryn thought she looked as dumb as dirt. Annette was about Kathryn's height, though not quiet as thin she noted to herself, with shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in khaki's and a pink shirt. So that's what clothes bought at Kmart look like she thought snidely. I can't believe this is what Sebastian is spending his summer on. "Annette this is my nephew Sebastian and his step sister Kathryn. I told you all about them." She smiled "of course. It's nice to meet you." Kathryn and Sebastian exchanged smiles and said "you too." "Well I have to go check on some things, why don't you two show Annette around. She just arrived yesterday and hasn't gotten to check out the place yet." "Of course" the stepsiblings said in unison. When she was gone Kathryn asked, "So I heard your father is the new headmaster at Manchester." "Yes he is, I heard it's a great school." "Oh it is," she said with false enthusiasm. "I'm sure you'll fit right in." "Not as well as you. Your aunt was telling me all about your accomplishments, its very impressive. I don't know how you find time." "Thank you, well its very challenging, but I love a challenge." She glanced over at Sebastian "just like my brother." The two stared at each other for a second before Sebastian said "didn't you want to check on your room Kathryn?" The conversation between the two girls was starting to annoy him. The last thing he needed was Kathryn and Annette to become best friends. "Yes I suppose I should. It was nice to meet you Annette we'll talk more later about school." "Great" Sebastian watched Kathryn's ass as she walked back up the steps towards the house. He then turned his attention back to Annette. She was pretty but a little on the plain side. He definitely preferred brunettes. "So alone at last. You looked so familiar to me at first and I just remember where I've seen you before." "Where?" "Seventeen magazine. I read your manifesto." A flicker of surprise crossed her face "really? Do you usually read teen girl magazines?" "Only if there's a hot girl on the cover" he told her with a charming smile. "I'm curious what made you come to such an appalling decision." The comment had taken her back like he expected "appalling? Is it such a stunner that I don't spend my time degrading myself with sex?" "It's hardly degrading yourself if you're in love. Maybe because of your sheltered life you don't realize it. I'm guessing you're from a small town right?" She shrugged "yes, so? I don't believe where you grow up has anything to do with the morals you develop. I mean look at your sister, from everything I hear she's very grounded in her decisions." At this Sebastian smiled slightly "appearances can be deceiving." "What does that mean?" "Nothing" he said changing the subject. "I'm just saying I'm sure you'll change you attitude once you've been hear a while. And who knows perhaps you'll meet the right guy who will change your mind" he once again gave her his most charming smile. Annette smiled slightly "oh you mean like you? Yes I know all about the infamous Sebastian Valmont. To say your reputation is appalling would be an understatement." Fabulous he thought, she already knows all about me. "From who, my aunt?" "Of course not, she seems to think the world of you. No lets just say I talked with some creditable people who gave me an earful when I told them I was spending the summer hear with you." He shrugged "well its all bullshit." "Oh you mean you didn't sleep with the former headmasters daughter and send video tapes of it to the entire faculty?" Sebastian smiled at the memory "didn't say that." Annette rolled her eyes and walked away "your disgusting. I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt but two minutes with you and I see that's a complete waste of time." "Oh come on" he called out seriously annoyed. She ignored him and kept walking until she was out of view. Sebastian sighed and rolled his eyes "stupid bitch." "Jesus that was pathetic on a level I hardly knew existed" Kathryn called out from the balcony above him. "I think your losing your touch Sebastian. That car's as good as mine" He looked up at her "don't break out the champagne just yet sweetheart, this has only just begun." - to be continued A Summer In the Country Chapter 2/10: Swimming Lessons Summary: Kathryn offers Sebastian some advice when he once again fails with Annette. Sebastian was determined to win. The morning after Kathryn and him arrived at the Rosemond estate he was still striking out with Annette. At dinner the previous night she had all but ignored him. When he tired to talk to her after ward she said she was tired and went to bed. That morning though had been worse. Kathryn and Annette had both gotten up early and played tennis together. Then at breakfast the two spent the whole time talking to each other about all the bullshit clubs at Manchester. Meanwhile Sebastian was forced to sit and talk with aunt about her flowers and her various charities. The whole time Kathryn would glance at him occasionally with this annoying superior smile like she had already won. Well there was no way in hell he was going to let that happen. Sebastian recalled Annette saying she was going to swim laps in one of the outdoor pools so he put on a suit and followed her out. Sure enough there she was wearing a boring one piece black suit. He watched her for a minute before approaching the pool. "Hello, do you mind if I join you?" Annette stopped for a minute and tried to hide her irritation the best she could. "I guess so its your pool." Nice of you to remember he thought. "Thanks" Sebastian pulled off his robe and noticed how Annette checked him out as he did so. He smirked to himself, she's not as immune as she would like me to believe. "You have a great form." She looked at him momentarily stunned "what?" "I said you have great form. Your swimming I mean. Frankly I never had the patience to do laps." "Well I like it, it helps me relax." As he got into the pool he asked "oh do you have a lot of tension?" "I suppose, everyone does." He swam up next to her "I could help you with that." Annette rolled her eyes "does everything with you come back to sex?" "Not really, maybe you just see it that way. Must be all that pent up tension." "Would it help for you to know that I have a boyfriend who I love very much?" Sebastian knew she would bring the boyfriend factor up eventually. "So I read. He must be a very patient guy." "He believes in waiting for marriage like me." He had to suppress a laugh "oh he's gay huh?" Annette's eyes narrowed and she shook her head. "No he's not gay" she said through clenched teeth. "But I suppose to you any guy that doesn't want sex is a faggot." Yeah pretty much. He pretended to look offended "I didn't use that word. As it happens one of my best friends is gay." "Well that changes everything" she said sarcastically. She sighed "look I don't want to fight with you Sebastian." "Neither do I. I just really like you but you make it difficult to be friendly." Her blue eyes went large "I make it difficult? You hit on me every time you see me even though I make it obvious I'm not interested." "How do you know your not interested? You haven't even given me a chance." Annette swam to the side of the pool. "Sebastian I know all about guys like you. You say whatever you want to get in a girls pants and then that's it. I'm not interested and besides like I said I'm in love with my boyfriend. Now if you excuse me I'd like to be alone." "Why your going to masturbate?" She spun around with an outraged look on her face and then grabbed her towel and left. Sebastian shook his head, he was getting no where. Something had to give eventually, he couldn't take much more of this. He had just met the girl and already he couldn't stand her. If it wasn't for that god damn bet he would have given up already. Less than a minute after Annette left Sebastian heard the sound of clapping coming from behind him. He turned around just as Kathryn came out wearing a smile. "Well done Valmont. At this point you should have her in bed by the time we graduate...college." He glared at her as she giggled "your so fucking funny Kathryn." "You mine as well just hand me the car keys now and save yourself the embarrassment." "Dream on, your never getting that car." "And your never getting that girl" she volleyed back. "Too bad your not going to win, it might have been fun" Kathryn then dropped the robe she was wearing to reveal a small white bikini. As he took in the sight of her beautiful tan body he gulped all the while trying to contain the bulge in his pants. She smirked at him "do you like my new suit?" "It's a little small, you can almost see your-" "That's the point" she interrupted him. Kathryn walked up and sat on the side of the pool letting her feet dangle in the water. "You know given then fact that your managing to fuck this up so badly I feel compelled to give you a little advice." Of course Sebastian was weary of any advice Kathryn was going to give him but he was curious. He swam over to her "oh and what would that be?" "Quit being such a dick for starters" He glared at her "excuse me?" "This arrogant attitude may work on the average debutante slut-" "It seems to work on you" he told her with a smile. Kathryn gave him an icy stare "but it won't work on her. Little Dorothy isn't into assholes. She likes nice guys who treat her with respect, caring, and all that other useless crap. If you want her your going to have to be her friend first." Sebastian was quite shocked that Kathryn was actually giving him decent advice. He was curious what her reasons were. Maybe she really wanted to fuck him after all even if she didn't want to admit it. "Hmm interesting theory" Sebastian then moved her legs apart and stepped in-between them. Kathryn smiled at him wondering what he was doing. He leaned over and kissed the inside of her thigh. "However wouldn't our innocent friend be interested in the bad boy?" Sebastian continued to kiss and suck oh her thighs. Kathryn bit her lip and tilted her head back "possibly, but you have to show her..ooh that feels nice...you have to show her that you really like her. You might even have to use the L word." He stopped what he was doing and looked up at her "love? Christ I hope not. Not even I am that good an actor." Kathryn chuckled "well it depends I guess on how much you want to win." Smiling up at her Sebastian resumed kissing and massaging her thighs. All the while Kathryn began to moan slightly and play with his hair. "Well then I guess desperate times call for desperate measures." "Mmm...yes..." Kathryn then stopped moaning and sat up abruptly. "Just one thing Sebastian...don't fall in love with her." Sebastian pulled away and laughed at his step sister "why, worried about losing me?" "I just don't want this turning out like some eighteenth century novel where you fall in love with the supposed innocent virgin and everything goes to hell. I really would have to kill you then." He smiled at the idea that he could really fall for Annette. "Don't worry about it Annette is pretty far from my type." He moved back in-between her legs "the girl in front of me however is another story entirely." "Oh that's so sweet" she then gently pushed him away and closed her legs "but I'm feeling rather tired now." As usual Sebastian could feel himself try to suppress the urge to strangle her "I thought you said if you came here we could have some fun?" Kathryn gave him a wicked smile "teasing you is always fun Sebastian." She started to get up when Sebastian grabbed her foot and yanked her into the pool. Kathryn let out a shriek and went right under water. Sebastian laughed as she popped up seconds later with a look of absolute furry on her face. "You Asshole!" He laughed "oh poor Kat got all wet." He looked her over and nodded in approval when he noticed that her white suit was completely see through when wet "I defiantly like your new suit." Kathryn let out a loud frustrated yell and headed out of the pool. Before she could Sebastian grabbed her by the arm and pulled her roughly towards him. Before she could pull away he kissed her hard on the mouth. As expected she didn't kiss him back right away and instead tried to push him away. The more she pushed him away the more he pulled her towards him and she eventually gave in and kissed him back, surprising him. One arm wrapped around his neck and her other hand roamed over his chest. Although they had kissed before it had never been quite like this before. It had this passionate. He slipped his tongue in her mouth and she eagerly sucked on it. Soft moans began to come from her mouth as Sebastian's hands began wandering over her body. Squeezing her breasts, rubbing her ass, then playing with her hair. Kathryn could definetly feel his erection against her leg and it was all turning her on more than she liked. Suddenly remembering the rules of the game she pulled away from his mouth but not his embrace. "Your never going to win Sebastian, give it up" she told him in a husky voice He smiled "never, not until I get what I want." He tried to pull her back to him but she pushed him away and got out of the pool. Sebastian admired the view as she slipped her robe back on. "I think your afraid I'll win and then you might have to actually admit how much you want me." She turned to him one last time before leaving "dream the fuck on." * * * * * * Although he was sure she had her own twisted reasons behind wanting to help him, Sebastian decided to take Kathryn's advice. It did make sense to try to be Annette's friend rather that her enemy. He found her out by his aunt's garden later that afternoon. She was cutting roses and he came up behind her. Annette glared at him and pointed the clippers at his chest. "Whoa I come in peace." She rolled her eyes and turned back to her flowers "yeah right." "I'm serious, look I realize I was an asshole earlier. It's just I don't know how to act around a girl like you." Annette turned back to him " a girl like me?" "Yeah you know someone decent, someone who can call me on my bullshit. I don't think I've ever met a girl like that before." Sebastian studied her confused reaction trying to tell if she was buying it or not. "It's just if your going to behave like a pig I don't think I can be around you." Giving her his most sincere smile he said "I understand. If I promise to stop hitting on you do you think we could at least be friends." Annette considered this "maybe, if you promise to understand that I don't think of you in that way." Jesus I wonder if she really is a lesbian he thought. I should get Kathryn to find out. "I promise, why don't we start over. I'm Sebastian" he held out his hand to her. Annette smiled and shook his hand "Annette. Would you like to help me with the flowers?" God no. "It would be my pleasure." * * * * * * As Annette and Sebastian got reacquainted Kathryn watched them through the telescope in the library. Looks like the idiot took my advice Kathryn thought with a smug smile. She had to admit she was curious if Sebastian could really pull off getting into goldilocks pants. At first she thought no way in hell but now as she studied the young couple she thought he might have a chance after all. Normally Kathryn would be pissed at the notion of losing a bet but she had to admit after that kiss in the pool she was curious. It might almost be worth it to throw the bet she thought to herself. However she hated losing and she didn't really like the idea of Sebastian wasting his time with Annette. Now that it appeared like he might actually have a chance with her it was time to throw in some curve balls. As the couple laughed and cut flowers Kathryn pulled out her cell phone and dialed Blain Tuttles number. "Hello" he answered. "It's Kathryn. I need you to help me find someone." - to be continued |
