Week 10: The End Game
Making Amends
Gwen waited an hour before heading upstairs to talk to Tyler. She knew he was upset about Jeremy's departure, especially since he had not been informed. When she reached her room, Tyler was not there. Instead, she found him in his old room on the bed he had not occupied in weeks. He looked downtrodden and distant.
"Tyler, we need to talk," she said as she entered the room. Tyler made no acknowledgment of Gwen's existence.
She sat down next to him on the bed, but he still did not look at her. In the doorway, she could see Connor cautiously making his way into the room. He did not enter too far, just enough to make his presence known.
"Connor told me about the final two deal you had struck with Jeremy. You made me the same promise. I didn't want to put you in the position to choose between me and him, so I made the choice for you."
Tyler continued to ignore her. Gwen did not know what to do to fix this. She did not know what Tyler wanted to hear.
"Tyler, I never slept with Gwen. It was all Jeremy," admitted Connor. "I convinced him to vote Gwen out. When I did, he told me how she was guaranteed to leave because he had convinced you we were sleeping together. I didn't have a chance to tell you before the vote."
For the first time, Tyler acknowledged the conversation.
"Why did you take him to The Suite?"
"Strategy. I wasn't going to leave a swing vote for Jeremy to try and manipulate. I couldn't trust him. I should've told you before the meeting, but I didn't think I would win."
"Tyler, I know my game is over. I'm not even going to fight to convince Gwen to pick me. I know she would never betray you, so don't believe a word Jeremy has told you."
With that, Connor left the room. Gwen was thankful he had been able to get something from Tyler.
Gwen and Tyler sat in silence for a few moments. Tyler still was not looking at her and Gwen could see the doubt on in face about their relationship.
"I never told you why I cheated on Jessie," she began. "It wasn't because of what he did or who he was. It was because of you. Who you are, what you did to win me over, everything about you."
Tyler finally looked at her as relief and understanding began to show on his face.
"You are everything I have ever wanted: exciting and funny, with a splash of romance and a lot of passion," Gwen admitted with a smile. "I don't want to lose you, not even if it would cost me the whole game. I love you, Tyler."
Gwen was wrapped up in his embrace as the last word left her lips. Tyler kissed the side of her head and pulled her in closer.
"I love you, Gwen," he confessed pulling away from her. "I'm so sorry for acting like a jackass. I'm just so afraid of losing you; I let Jeremy get to me."
"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
Tyler smiled as he pulled Gwen in for a deep, passionate, loving kiss.
The Vote: All Alone
Connor kept his word. He did not try to sway either Tyler of Gwen to keep him in the house. When the vote came down and he was evicted, Connor was calm and collected. He hugged Gwen goodbye and shook Tyler's hand, then wished them both luck, and left with a smile. Connor had taken the eviction quite well, which was a nice reprieve after the explosive and tense evictions of the last few weeks.
"And then there were two," Tyler said with a smile.
"Only twenty-four hours left before we're free. What did you want to do?"
Tyler looked down at Gwen with a sexy smirk. Gwen was familiar with the look and knew what he had in mind.
"Hmm. There are thirteen rooms and the backyard, and I have only slept with you in one room."
"So?" she asked, teasingly biting her lip.
"So, now that the house is empty," he explained as he walked her backwards into the living room, "I want to have sex with you in every remaining room of this house and in the backyard."
Tyler pushed her down and she landed on the couch.
"Why don't we start with this room?"
He climbed on top of her and his lips were at her throat, kissing and licking her in frenzy. His hands pulled at her tank top straps and pulled them down far enough to expose her tits. His tongue snaked around her flesh, across her collarbone, down between her breasts before finally finding her left nipple. His tongue swirled around it before flicking it up and down.
Gwen was panting and running her fingers into her hair. Her legs twisted as the ache started between her legs. She cooed lightly and her back arched. Tyler slipped his arm under her, pulling her body as tightly to him as he could. He latched onto her nipple, sucking and tugging it. His other hand slipped behind her, running down her back and over her ass. His fingers grabbed the waistband of her shorts and pulled them down until her behind was completely exposed. He grabbed it firmly and pulled her hips against him, separating her legs with his knee.
His lips traveled back up her body, finding hers. He passionately kissed her, slipping his tongue into her mouth. He ground his erection against her pelvis as his kisses became more desperate.
