Chapter 272 Let's Shower
"I'm out here," she called out to him, and he walked over to the balcony to meet her.
"Did I keep you waiting for long? I'm sorry I got carried away," Tom said apologetically as he squatted down in front of her and took both her hands which he raised to his lips.
Butterflies fluttered in her belly at his gesture, "What were you so busy with that got you carried away?" Lucy asked as she tried not to be distracted by his thumb which was running against the back of her hand sensually.
"Drinking and gossiping with your twin," Tom said as he reached out a hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Drinking? I thought you said no alcohols tonight?" Lucy reminded him.
"That rule only applies to a certain someone that blames the alcohol for her inability to control herself when she is in pleasure," Tom said making her raise a brow.
"So what were you both gossiping about?" Lucy asked curiously, ignoring what he had just said.
"You shouldn't concern yourself with that," Tom said as he straightened up, and took both her hands, pulling her up against her will.
"I don't want to stand up. I'm tired," Lucy complained, and Tom swept her off he feet and carried her bride style into the bedroom.
"You don't have to walk," Tom said as he walked over to the bed with her in his arms while she snuggled closer to him.
"So what did you and Lucas talk about?" Lucy asked curiously as she held on to his neck without letting go when he dropped her on the bed.
"Like I said, that's between me and him. So tell me, what do you think about my family?" Tom asked as he let her drag him down.
"Your parents are funny, and cool. And Bryan is really wonderful. What do you think about mine?" Lucy asked in return.
"Lucas is really cool, your mom is sweet, and your dad is annoying," Tom said, and Lucy giggled.
"That reminds me, there is going to be a series of competition between you and my father tomorrow. The winner will be my one true love," Lucy said, and Tom pulled away to look down at her.
"I'm supposed to compete with your father?"
Lucy bobbed her head, "You have a problem with it?" She asked with a slightly raised brow as she pulled herself up on both elbows resting on the bed, and she drew one leg to herself seductively, distracting Tom who followed the movement with his eyes.
Tom's gaze moved from her leg back to her face where a naughty smile was displayed, and he raised a brow at her, "You did that deliberately to distract me, didn't you?"
"You are going to be the winner of the competition, don't worry," Lucy said, ignoring his question as she rolled on top of him, surprising him.
Tom chuckled, "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing? Undressing you of course," She said as she started unbuttoning his shirt, making his smile widen as his heart flooded with love for this amazing woman.
"So you're going to help me win your dad?" Tom asked as he watched her unbutton his shirt.
"You're already the winner, he just doesn't know it yet," Lucy said with a wink, and Tom chuckled.
"If you knew that, why didn't you just say so at the table?" Tom asked as he raised his hands to both sides of her face and cupped her cheeks.
"Because I didn't want to hurt his feeling of course," Lucy said matter of factly as she helped him shrug out of the shirt, leaving just his white undershirt.
"You didn't want to hurt his feeling, but you don't mind hurting his feelings tomorrow?" Tom asked, trying to understand the logic behind her action.
"At least he would lose in a fun way, so it won't be like I blatantly chose you over him," Lucy said with a grin, and Tom chuckled as he placed both hands on her waist.
"You're so smart," he said as he sat up while she remained straddled over his thighs.
"You have no idea how happy I am to see you this way," Tom said with a wide smile.
"What way?" Lucy asked with a playful smile.
"Smiling and joking this way after crying your eyes out yesterday," Tom said, and Lucy's face colored slightly.
"Yeah. Thanks for standing by me," she said as she leaned forward and kissed his lips. As she tried to pull back, Tom's hand went behind her and he buried his fingers in her hair as he held her in place and kissed her unhurriedly.
Once she tasted the wine on his lips, she sucked his tongue as it made contact with hers, and moved her arms around his neck.
Tom pulled away before the kiss got more intense, "Let's shower," he said as he rubbed her lips with thumb sensually.
"I'm tired. I don't want to be on my feet," Lucy complained as she rolled off Tom, and let him stand up and get off the bed.
"Alright. A warm bath should refresh you," Tom said as he walked over to the bathroom and turned on the hot water faucet to fill the jacuzzi with warm water.
"That reminds me, I was going to ask you a question," Lucy called to him after her head cleared, and Tom walked over to the bathroom door to listen to her.
"Go on," he said as he took off his undershirt, revealing the taut muscles of his torso.
Lucy's brain became blank and her mouth went dry as she looked at his body as though she had never see him before. Perhaps not like this, since both times he had been naked with her, she had been too driven by lust to take a good look at him. How come she had never really been affected by stuff like this until she met Tom? She always felt like touching him and eating him up. There was always this strong desire to have him.
Her eyes glazed over with undisguised desire as she watched him drop the undershirt on the floor and his hands moved to the front of his trouser to unzip it.
Tom who had been waiting to hear her question, glanced at her when she remained silent and his lips curved in a smile when he noticed how she was staring at the waistline of his trouser. This lady.
He dropped his hands to his sides, and Lucy's gaze moved to his face, and she blushed when she realized that he had caught her ogling at him.
"I wonder what manner of thought is going through that dirty mind of yours? You want me to strip for you?" He asked with a teasing smile, and Lucy scowled at him.
"Can't I admire my boyfriend?"
"Of course, you can. Feel free to," Tom said as he walked over to where she was seated on the bed to lift her off the bed. He carried her into the bathroom, and made her sit on the toilet seat as he touched the water in the jacuzzi to make sure it was the right temperature.
"You wanted to ask a question," he reminded her.
"Oh, yeah. Let's assume I lose the bet..."
"You're going to lose the bet," Tom assured her with a confident smile which Lucy ignored.
"Let's say I lose for instance, what kind of stuff would you want me to do for a week?"
"Why are you asking me that? Are you scared that I might ask you to do something you can't do?" Tom asked, watching her face curiously.
"Aren't you curious about what I might ask you for?" Lucy asked with a slightly raised brow.
"I'm not. What could you possibly ask me for that I can't give to you?" Tom asked, and Lucy raised a brow as she cocked her head to the side.
"I can think of a couple of things."
"Like?"
"Your position for one. I could ask you to make me the CEO of I-Global," Lucy said, and giggled when Tom's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's not within my ability."
"I could ask you for fifty percent of your shares. I'm sure that is within your ability," she continued.
"Wow!" Tom exclaimed.
"I could ask you for this house," Lucy said, making Tom shake his head.
"Seeing as so much is at stake here, I guess I have to do my best to make sure that you don't win then," Tom said as he turned off the tap and straightened up.
