Tasting Bree (A Naughty Girl Story Book 4)

The Long Night of Leo and Bree

---

So here it is, my first Braz story for Lab Rats: It was a hot Thursday afternoon in Centium City. A hot 90 degrees and sunny. Kaz was upstairs in the boys living quarters doing some sit-ups without a shirt on while enjoying the cool air circulating throughout the room. After doing sit-ups, Kaz got up from the floor and decided to go down to Mission Command to train with Oliver, Skylar and Chase. But it's too hot for that, so they've decided to sneak into Mr.

Davenport's room and swim in his pool. Wanting to fix himself something to eat, Kaz walked downstairs and made his way over to the kitchen, only to see something that caught his attention. A certain brown-haired bionic girl who was out on the terrace laying on the beige lounge chair relaxing and getting some sun. And that girl was Bree Davenport, oiling her young, nubile body up with suntan oil. Kaz watched intently as Bree rubbed oil all over her body.

The bionic beauty starts rubbing oil on her ankles, spreading the oil up her long legs while working her way up to her toned body. Kaz continued to watch as Bree continues to spread oil all over belly and on her breasts, that were still covered by her bikini top. Her whole body glistened from the afternoon sun. Even though him and Bree bicker like a married couple, he thought about dating her. There were even times when they tend to spar in Mission Command, ending with Bree on top of Kaz, with her face closer to his. Just go out there and talk to her. You and her are living in the same penthouse.

Oliver is with Skylar.

See a Problem?

Now you have your chance. Bree rolled over on her stomach and picked up an issue of Teen People and starts reading it before she noticed Kaz sitting down next to her on the other lounge chair. He was wearing only a pair of blue jeans and no shoes on his feet. She couldn't help but find Kaz hot, watching his chest glisten in the sun.

What is he doing to me? It's like he's Photoshopped! I was not checking you out. I was busy reading this magazine. I'm reading an article about Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris. They are really cute together. Your back looks like the oil isn't covering well enough on ya. How about you let me put massage oil on your back? That way you don't get burned. But you better not be a perv and try to cop a feel. If you do, then I will kill you.

Bree reached behind her back and untied the straps of her bikini top and pulled it off while she's still laying on the lounge chair. Kaz poured a generous amount of oil on Bree's back and starts spreading suntan oil all over the bionic girl's back, rubbing up and down and gently kneading her soft skin. Bree let out a soft moan as Kaz gently massaged her shoulders with his thumbs, them moved to her neck kneaded the muscles.

Bree was amazed at how good the massage from Kaz felt. His touch was magical. As Bree's body relaxed as Kaz massaged her, the handsome teen ran his hand up the sides of Bree's body, moving them up until he reached her breasts and began to lightly touch them for a bit. Wanting to be a bit playful to Bree, Kaz slid his hands underneath her and starts squeezing them and making honking noises, instantly shocking the bionic beauty.

I cannot believe that you did that! You problem is that you haven't been laid. That was…that was ow there! I am not an idiot. Besides, we have a thing for each other because we keep bickering. I don't find myself attracted to you. Why would I be attracted to you? After all the things you've done since you, Oliver and Skylar joined us.

I would be attracted to you? I would rather tie my tongue to Mr. Davenport's tail-pipe and he drove me eighty miles-an-hour naked across a field of broken glass. Yeah, I want to talk about the pig. And I also want to talk about the fire-made Davenport in Mission Command.

Post script from Sita, 15 January

But I mostly want to talk about the pig. I told you that we're not pig-sitting because there are already three teenage boys in this penthouse and what do you do, you end up pig-sitting behind my back and it was a bad idea! Now, do I have to mention that Petey locked us out on the terrace. He was working for Mrs. In fact, how about I announce to the world that you're a fun killer.

I'll tell everybody in this whole building that you're a fun killer.

Meet Bree Davenport, she's also known as Captain Funkill! You're about to get your head kicked off with a bionic kick. I want you to remember this face, pig boy. Because I want this to be the last pretty thing you see before you…" Bree said until Kaz grabs her by the wrist, pulling her in closer and crashed his lips on top of her to shut her up. Bree's eyes widened from the shock of the kiss. Part of her want to kill him but part of her wants to kiss him back. Kaz stepped back after breaking the kiss as Bree just stared at him. In fact, I can do something much better. Kaz wraps his arms around Bree's waist and deepened the kiss, licking the bionic girl's bottom lip begging for entrance but before Bree could give him access, Kaz immediately shoved his tongue inside her as Bree ran her fingers through his dark hair, gripping it tightly and making him groan into her mouth as she took over the kiss.

Electricity jolted throughout Kaz's body as he enjoyed the intense kiss while trying to dominate Bree's mouth with his tongue, but she's not the type of girl who would give up so easily. The two fought for dominance for a few minutes as Kaz roughly grips Bree's firm butt, lifting her up while she wraps her legs around his waist as he carried her over to the couch. Wittlinger could've also took the book out of its predictable groove by withholding information until Leo and Bree gave it to each other - it would be a nice way to give the book some genuine surprises.

It's a trick that's used surprisingly rarely, despite its success when it is used - just look at This Is Not A Test , a book that pulls it off flawlessly. Having nothing to do with this point There was slut shaming. Yes, the author of Sandpiper used slut shaming. No, I don't know why.

Bree is described, both by herself and by Leo, as being dressed like a slut several times throughout the book - in fact, it's what prompts Leo to kidnap her. The way her outfit was described also seemed to imply that dressing that way was bad in and of itself; at one point, her skirt was described as being "up to her ass". There were good bits Leo's psychological state and home life, the prose on a sentence level , but overall, the book was too short and forgettable to make any real impact.

Wittlinger is a talented author, and I know that she can do better than this - I hope she does soon. I don't believe that anyone can trust someone that kidnapped them and held a knife to their throat as quickly as Bree trusted Leo. I don't buy it.

1 girl….2 many books!

Leo gets in fights with his family a lot especially his alcoholic mother. He then goes on a drive and spots Bree walking from her rich town to a bar to play p Alexis Karfis Book Review. He then goes on a drive and spots Bree walking from her rich town to a bar to play pool.

Leo then decides to kidnap Bree. Bree talks to Leo about her life and her problems, hoping they can get along. Later on the night, Leo then talks to Bree about his life problems as well. They touch on thoughtful topics that occurred to both of them and realize both have a lot in common. After reading this book, what I took from it is exactly what the characters learned as well, "When you make yourself real to somebody, they become real to you too. If you just keep giving chances to people or anything, you can receive and learn a lot from that small little thing.

This theme also draws back and connects to friendship. I can connect to this because one time I disliked someone who I barely knew the beginning of freshman year and never even gave myself a chance to communicate with her and get to know more about her. Just a couple weeks ago we finally talked to each other and realized how much we had in common and it was great to finally know a lot about her and make a new friend.

I recommend this book to middle school kids and teens because it definitely is a short decent sized story with a great meaning that we should all be using today.

One reason is because the book can teach you a few things about how you can't just go walk around cities by yourself when you don't know them.

Another is how anyone can seem crazy but once you get to know them they can seem pretty cool. The reason I mention this is because Leo takes Bree hostage and it first he seems crazy, but if you keep reading you realize that he's not really crazy he just hasn't faced his sister's death, and he doesn't know how There is a few reasons that I loved this book.

The reason I mention this is because Leo takes Bree hostage and it first he seems crazy, but if you keep reading you realize that he's not really crazy he just hasn't faced his sister's death, and he doesn't know how to deal with it because no one talks about it with him.

By the end of the book I felt like Bree maybe would have liked to date Leo but she didn't get the courage to ask him because of the circumstances of their relationship. I wish the ending of the book would have been with them two dating in the end because of how good they could relate to each other. This book is up there with my favorite books because I can understand why Leo did what he did even though it was wrong, and also because it gives me a good view of how someone may act when they expirience a loss of a loved one, especially at a young age.

He thinks since his sister was stabbed 57 times and had her throat slit, he had to do the same to some other girl. Bree was on the street that night and he kidnapped her. He brought her back to his house and was planning on killing her but then he had a change of heart and instead of killing her he calmed her down and let her go. She said that if she wanted to find him she could and she considered it. I would recommend this book to older teenagers because younger children would not get into it.

Feb 14, Lacey rated it really liked it Shelves: Sometimes the shortest of books make the biggest kind of impact.

I think if I were thirteen and reading this book, I would have put it down with tears in my eyes, wandering about life and what it would bring for me. Now, as an adult reading this book, I am forced to think about being a teenager and all the drama that comes with it. I enjoyed the read and I think that Ellen Wittlinger writes with such raw passion.

Apr 11, Janie rated it liked it Shelves: Leo's sister was brutally murdered four years ago, and since then, his dad left and his mom went crazy scary abusive psycho crazy. He's the one with the job, taking care of basic necessities such as food, and one night, when it get to be too much, he goes for a drive. Bree is just a rich girl who wants to get out from under the controlling thumb of her mother and boyfriend. I can't believe I saw the words "love story" on the back cover. That is not what this is. One top of that, they tend to side with the criminal.

Another thing that this book addresses is that Bree finds out everything that I, the reader, finds out. What I know about Leo make me symphonize for him, and it makes perfect sense that Bree, despite being a kidnapping victim, feels at least a little sympathy for his situation. The main problem that I have about this story is the ending.

Leo is seriously messed up, and although he sort of gets over it, you should probably get him a nice psychiatrist to talk to. He held a knife up to your throat several times, tied you up, kept you against your will, and, although you left, you still are thinking about getting together with him? Belle seems to completely forget that the Beast blackmailed her into staying with him forever, never to see her father again.

Oct 21, Cathleen Ash added it. His mother's screaming upstairs and yelling at him and he's hiding in the dark, on a couch, in the basement storage area of his apartment complex. He knows she's just getting started, that it will get worse as the night progresses because of the date. It's the anniversary of his sister's pointless, brutal murder by her boyfriend. A boyfriend Leo didn't really like, but he backed u Leo's going nuts. A boyfriend Leo didn't really like, but he backed up his sister when she asked to stay out late with the guy, because at 13, Leo thought he was setting her up as an example, and when he was her age, he'd be able to stay out late with his girlfriend.

But that was before the police called, and showed his mother pictures of his sister with the stab wounds, and asked about the boyfriend and what he looked like and how he acted. He knows if he doesn't leave he might fall asleep, and the dreams, the dark dark frightening dreams, will catch him. But if he stays awake, he has to fight off the buzzing noise in his head, the noise that threatens to drown out the whole world.

He must concentrate, sneak upstairs and grab his keys, escape the house and just drive away, at least for this night. Bree lives in another town, and she's not having any fun at home either - but it's a very different home. It's a house, not an apartment, and her parents, instead of yelling at her, have planned her future in fine detail: She can't stand it anymore, she wants away - someplace different, someplace where people don't have a lexus and a volvo and a boat.

Someplace where her mother doesn't constantly wonder why she would apply to Mount Holyoke it's far away since going to Tuft's with Jesse is, of course, what she's going to do. She puts on clothes her mother would faint dead awayat if she saw her wearing them, and takes off. Leo - angry at the guy who stabbed his sister to death, escaping his psycho mom and driving around trying to stop the buzzing in his hhea.

Bree, needing to get out of a life well-manicured by confining parents, walking down the street in her town - a street her parents won't even drive on, let alone walk through. Leo sees her walking, dressed like that, at night, and knows that this is the person his sister's boyfriend should have stabbed, nobody would miss her. She should have been the one stabbed 57 times until she was totally totally dead, not Michelle, his sister, who had a family that loved her.

He pulls the car over in front of Bree, wondering what he's going to do next to stop the buzzing noise in his head. Dec 10, Austin Williams rated it it was amazing. The Long Night of Leo and Bree is written like a diary between the two main characters. Most diaries have entries about everyday life and things that people might not want to share with others but this book is not like any other diary.

All the events in this book from the thrilling moments to the cliff hangers and more depressing moments this book has you hooked every paragraph of the way. Ellen Wittlinger uses imagery all throughout the book to get across what was going through the minds of the The Long Night of Leo and Bree is written like a diary between the two main characters. Ellen Wittlinger uses imagery all throughout the book to get across what was going through the minds of these two teens.

This book had me interested from start to finish, from the start of night to the next day. These teens start as strangers in totally different worlds but throughout the book and some unfortunate events they become somewhat friends and realize they are not so different from one another.

This book really helped me get different viewpoints on life and what people are really dealing with. Without the help of my student teachers i never would have been able to find this short, great read. Within these short passages between the two characters many lenses are shown but none as much as the gender and psychoanalytical lenses. The psychoanalytical lens in this book really helps and adds on to the gender lens and the whole idea of the book and climax. Without these two lenses there would have been no plot to the book and all the things that happened throughout it would never have happened.

The lenses built the book very well along with the tropes that are seen throughout it. Wittlinger uses multiple tropes in this book them being the typical ones like the emotional,defenseless, sassy rich girl and the masculine boy. These tropes help build all the dialogue and reasoning in this book.

This book also avoids one major trope of the emotional boy. This avoided trope helps with the end of the book very much, without this I feel like the book would have been less predictable but at the same time it helped end the story.

This reminds me of April Henry 's "Girl, Stolen" in that the narrative alternates between the hapless victim and the not-really-a-bad-guy perpetrator. This one isn't quite as strong a story, but is is still good. I didn't buy the ending, but up to the final couple of pages, I thought it was realistic and well done. There is genuine insight as to Bree's state of mind; Leo is a bit less well realized, but his confusion and near-insanity are plausibly laid out.

Once the crime happens, the book moves along. There's a bit of swearing and there are discussions of violent murder, but even Middle School students would enjoy this fast read. Jan 22, TheCosyDragon rated it it was ok. This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon. Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me, which appear on a timely schedule. It's been 4 years since Leo's sister was killed by her boyfriend.

Leo is still haunted by the sight, and his mother is out of her mind. Bree leads a boring life in comparison, but when she heads out to a bar, and finds herself lost, confronted by Leo and threatened with murder. The back of this novel is very misleading. This is not romance. It's a This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon. It's a horrible night for them both, but it has the potential to lead to positive things.

I'm not sure exactly what though. I felt along with the characters, I felt Bree's terror and Leo's confusion. I found myself being disturbed by what was happening, and not wanting to put the novel down for fear of something happening while I wasn't looking! At the same time, I couldn't feel the same connection with both characters. Leo has so much depth, while Bree seems like a simple rich girl.

I guess that's her role, but surely Wittlinger could have picked a better antagonist? Or at least make me feel some sympathy for her. If I had thought it would make Leo feel better, I would have told him to kill her. I purchased this novel because I've enjoyed Wittlinger's novels in the past. It has nothing on Parrotfish, but is really much better than Hard Love. That's not to say it's perfect though, or anything other than a quick, worth-reading-once, novel.

Don't bother buying it unless you're determined to collect everything from this author, just borrow it from the library to make up your mind yourself. I'd recommend this for mature teenage readers.

Leo is a severely damaged boy, still recovering from the murder of his beloved sister. Bree is a girl trying to escape her sheltered life. When their paths meet on the anniversary of the murder, an impulse drives Leo to take Bree's life into his own hands. Terrified, Bree decides to make an effort to save her own life by opening herself up to Leo.

Perhaps if she shows him that she is a whole human being, he will no longer want to hurt her. In the end, the pair of strangers discover that they are more similar than they thought. It isn't long before they begin to spill their hearts to each other. Who would have known that you're life could be changed for the better by your abductor?

I thought this story proved the fact that people are not as different as they seem to think. It is possible to relate to someone who lives a life completely opposite of yours. You never know when someone will change your life. The ones you look down upon may very well turn out to be the ones who make the largest contributions to your understanding of the world. I liked this book. It is thought provoking, it is out of the ordinary, and it will definitely make you wonder what flourishes in the minds of everyone around you.

Sometimes it takes months and even years for the pain to go away. It'll even tear someone apart before it gets better or at least thats how it worked out with Leo.
