but in all chaos, there is calculation

brianna selmy. 20 years old.

Eddie groaned into his hands whilst simultaneously chuckling at what she said.

“I can’t argue with you there, blue blood. But if anyone finds out about this, your father’s going to go medieval on my ass and stick me on a pike.” Eddie sighed, leaning down on his elbow to lie next to her. Even though he knew he was completely fucked, he couldn’t help but desire to enjoy the situation as much as he had last night. Even bedraggled and hungover, Brianna was very gorgeous. 

“Worth it though.” Eddie grinned after a while, placing a hand on her duvet covered hip before he leaned in to kiss her again

“I should probably stop doing this. For my health…” he murmured 

She blinked over at him, all doe eyes and innocence, listening to his words. There were a lot of things her father was capable, but murdering Edward Tully, his star little officer, for sleeping with his daughter? He might beat the shit out of him, but Brianna firmly believed he wouldn’t kill the guy.

Then again, as Edward brought his lips down to his and placed his fingers on her body only covered with a sheet, Brianna didn’t think she’d blame her father if he did.

The woman let her own hand slide up to his cheek absentmindedly, knowing that even if Eddie wouldn’t look at her the same after this, she was going to enjoy it while she could. Little Brianna Selmy wasn’t the type of girl to end up with the guy.

“Probably,” she muttered back, pulling away to grin up at him, and then quickly peck his lips again, “and yet, here we are. Oh, while we’re here, wanna have some breakfast in bed? It’s not exactly a proper date, but at least you can say you wined and dined me before or after -- don’t specify -- luring me into your bed.”

[briannaselmy]

Eddie’s eyes snapped open as he heard a familiar voice from behind him. He sat bolt upright, causing the dull headache he had to sharpen painfully, causing him to raise a hand to his head with a groan.

“Oh my god…” he then remembered what had woken him up and looked over to see his boss’s daughter in the bed next to him. Eddie could have had several reactions at that point, but all the eldest Tully did was laugh at his stupidity.

“Oh my god. I’m fucking dead.” 

It was his laughter that drew her attention; she peeked an eye open, looking for confirmation even though she already knew his voice. She had a thing about voices; being a cop’s daughter forced you to be observant. How aware of things was she supposed to be, though, waking up in a hotel room with the taste of dry liquor in her mouth?

Brianna sighed. The memory hit her like a wall, instead of soft, gentle waves. She propped herself on her elbows and blinked her eyes open fully, unsure of what to say or do. Naturally, she turned towards humor.

“I know I looked like heaven last night, but neither of us are dead yet, Tully.”

[briannaselmy]

“Jesus,” Brianna groaned, her head pounding against her skull, reminding her why she doesn’t often drink. A new year, for new hangovers. “Why do I not smell coffee? Where’s Jimmy?”

"I've never missed a train. Now I have to wait?"

[briannaselmy]

"Yeah, I don’t really know what their game is. Why would anyone care about what we looked like in gym clothes and all sweaty?" She shook her head before sliding off her jacket and putting it with the rest of her stuff. "Happy New Year by the way, I didn’t see you at the party." 

"Ooh, Miranda Baratheon all sweaty? I'd take pictures of that too," Brianna teased, still looking over at her. She stood, letting go of her stretch, and came to her full height. "New Year's? Oh yeah... I was there." Until after the ball had dropped. Then she was with Edward. Oh god, was she with him. "You should've tried finding me better."

Well...

Her hand ran over his head and she pulled him closer, close as he could get, before trying to push off her own pants. It was New Year's and Brianna wanted this like she had never wanted anything before.

[briannaselmy]

"Sorry I don’t do interviews while I’m practicing." She explained walking into the gymnasium with her dufflebag full of equipment. "I’d really appreicate it if you all just did not take pictures of me here or at my school or my home. Events or on the street, I’ll pose. I’ll smile. But not here." 

Inside, Brianna stretched, waiting for Miranda. Her thoughts weren't focused on her friend, however, but rather on the previous party. It had been... well, out of character for her to say the least. But then she detected the Baratheon's voice and she snapped out of her thoughts, giving Miranda a smile despite the scowl on the other girl's face. "Yeah. Sorry about them. Did they follow you?"

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie let her lift his shirt off, before he eased her onto the bed. His lips never leaving hers, his hand dragged up her leg, desperately trying to touch her skin as he started kissing his way down to her collarbone.

"I admit…I’ve wanted this for a while." he said in a low tone of lust. 

It was easy to give him more access to her skin, more of her. It was easy to give her body to Eddie. Bri let out a soft little moan as he explored and touched and when he spoke, it sent shivers down her back and everywhere else that she could feel.

"Had to wait until we were both nice and drunk, huh?" she teased, letting her own hand finally travel down his body, stopping right before she touched anything too sensitive. His statement had pleased her, but also shocked her; she was the commissioner's daughter, after all, and she hadn't expected Edward Tully of all people to want her. But god, did it feel good to be wanted, and by a man like him.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

It wasn’t much later that Eddie and Brianna were stumbling into one of the suites downstairs, he was hastily pulling his jacket off as he tried to keep his lips on hers. When she kicked her shoes off, he lifted her into the air.

In the air, Brianna let out a little scream and a laugh, being often taken by surprise, it seemed. She let a grin take over her features for a moment as she stared down at Eddie and then attacked his lips all over again, hands going for his shirt, tugging it above his head.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie grinned, his fingers intertwining with hers as his other hand slipped beneath her blouse to caress her bare hip. He exhaled with a growl of desire before looking back up into her eyes.

"That far?" he asked before flicking his eyes upwards to the bedrooms in the penthouse.

"Or…you know…we could always get our own room." he suggest stepping close to her to kiss her once more. 

The feeling of his fingers on her skin only made her realize that yes, his place was too far, and yes, a room at the hotel would work perfectly fine.

Her body gravitated towards his and her lips responded just as well, only pulling back to grab his hand, pulling him out of the room they were currently in. They were only taking up space and there were better places to occupy, like a fancy bed in a fancy suite.

"You're brilliant, Edward," she told him, leaning up to kiss his jawline.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie’s fingers were about to do very inappropriate things to Brianna before he remembered they were in public, and that he was a Detective, she was the Commissioner’s daughter…and he wasn’t 17 anymore. He pulled away from her with a smile, before taking her hand in his.

"Wanna get out of here?" 

She tugged on his shirt a little after he pulled away, protesting the lack of contact. However, his words soon reached her ears, and she couldn't say she hated them. Bri looked around and noticed that no one was paying attention to them (which, in itself, was a brilliant thing) and decided that staying here, doing nothing with her bran new year, was the wrong thing to do.

"Yeah. Yeah, I do. Your place?"

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie’s hands dragged their way down Brianna’s sides to her legs, when his fingers made contact with the smooth skin of her inner thighs, he hungrily nibbled her bottom lip before his lips trailed down her chin to her neck. 

Her eyelids fluttered to a close as she lifted her chin in the hair, the combined feeling of Edward's lips and scruff somehow relaxing her while still igniting something in her. Bri ran her fingers through his short hair and waited a moment before cupping his face and eagerly bringing his mouth back to hers.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie was just as surprised as she had been when he made the first move, but he was quicker to respond. His hands finding place on her, as he explored her lips with his tongue before it danced with hers. He pulled her closer to his body as they were jostled by the crowd to be pushed against a wall. 

Normally, Bri would've taken some time to breathe, but as soon as Edward's hands returned on her body, she learned that air was overrated and she probably didn't even actually need it. She let herself be guided away from the other people and when her back hit the wall, she only let herself barely react to it, most of her attention being focused on Edward and the way his lips felt.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

Eddie frowned, moving to step in front of her.

"Bri, wait! That’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, I’m being stupid…and drunk…I just…I’m being stupid. I wanted to kiss you. I was just very unsuccessfully trying to flirt. I didn’t-…I didn’t mean that…wasn’t an awesome kiss.” he shook his head, smacking himself.

"I’m sorry." he said once more, before making to turn away. 

She tried to listen, furrowing her eyebrows. Then it made sense. And then she felt like an idiot. Then she felt even more stupid because she was drunk too and she had totally messed up.

Instead of fumbling with her words more, Brianna took a deep breath and reaching her hand out, she pulled Eddie back to her and kissed him again, taking her time and without the element of surprise he had gotten on her a few moments before, she was able to really get into the kiss, making it even more of an awesome kiss than before, as he had described it.

[edward-tully]

Well...

[briannaselmy]

When she pulled away, Eddie bit his bottom lip and did the same. He offered Brianna a chuckle before shrugging and glancing out at the giant window to a celebrating New York City.

"I could think of a few better ways. Hope I didn’t upset you there, Bri." 

Brianna couldn't help it; she flinched. Apparently kissing her had been one of Edward's wrong decisions and her reaction hadn't been one he wanted. But what he expected? She hadn't seen him coming. But she had kissed back.

"You didn't until now," Brianna muttered, looking to the ground, trying hard not to put the disappointment she felt in her veins into her voice. Turning, she moved to walk away before anything else ruined her night.
