One Wild Night

726  Following The Right Order

Inside Tom's bedroom, he lay on the bed with Lucy snuggled close to him. He had yet to say more than a handful of words to her since the moment he walked into the bedroom and joined her on the bed.

He had thought she would be fast asleep by the time he returned, but she had only just settled into bed when he walked into the room.

He was too busy thinking of the easiest way to tell Lucy about Kimberly without getting her worried.

"Are you going to tell me what is on your mind?" Lucy asked when she finally got tired of waiting for him to willingly say what he was thinking about, and Tom sighed as he sat up.

"You've blocked Kimberly from reaching you, right?" he asked, and she raised a brow.

"Yeah. I thought we were done with that already. Why are you bringing it up again?" she asked in confusion as she also sat up.

"We found out she was behind the scandal, not her parents," Tom said as he watched Lucy.

"She posted that? Why would she do something like that?" Lucy asked, and Tom shrugged as he shared his theory with her which he had also shared with Bryan and Harry early about Kimberly doing it because she knew Lucy was the one who didn't want to get married.

"She must be stupid if she believes that just because I'm not interested in getting married I would just sit back and let her take my man," Lucy said and Tom smiled wryly.

"It's good to know that you're willing to fight for me," Tom said and Lucy raised a brow.

"Wouldn't you fight to keep me if you had to?" She asked and he smiled.

"You know I would. All I want is for you to stay away from her. I don't need you fighting, Lu. I'm not an object that can be snatched or taken away by just anyone, okay? Just don't be friends with her," Tom said, and Lucy sighed.

"I can't believe she went to such an extent though. How could she expose her daughter that way? She is worse than Anita," Lucy murmured thinking about how stupid she had been to feel sorry fo he Kimberly and want to offer her friendship in the first place.

"Don't let it bother you. I won't let her cause any more issues for us, I promise," Tom said and Lucy smiled.

"You seem to have a knack for attracting troublesome women, you know?" She joked and Tom raised a brow.

"And you're not an exception. I attracted you after all," Tom said and she grinned.

"Don't worry about me. I won't have anything to do with her anymore," Lucy promised.

"And Dawn?" Tom asked and she shrugged.

"She isn't her mom. And whether or not you like it, she is related to you, so you have to learn to see her as a separate entity from her mother. We will do our best for the kid until Kimberly comes to get her," Lucy said and Tom nodded.

"Alright. Let's do that," he said as he lay down again and Lucy snuggled close to him.

"Is that all that was bothering you?" Lucy asked after they had been quiet for some time.

"I guess so," Tom said and she nodded.

"You've never been to my home, have you?" Lucy asked and he raised a brow.

"Where your parents live?" He asked wondering why she was bringing that up all of a sudden.

"Yeah," Lucy said.

"No, I haven't. It's our first time out here together since we started dating, remember? The last time I came to surprise you here, you left before I showed up," Tom said and Lucy giggled.

"That's true. I forgot about that. How about we visit my parents tomorrow so you know where I grew up, and then we go on a date? We could see a movie or go play games. Whatever you want," Lucy suggested.

"Really?" Tom asked excitedly.

"Sure. I think you need a break," Lucy said and Tom sighed deeply.

"Yeah, I do. That would be nice. Let's do it," he said as he kissed the tip of her nose and she giggled.

"That is ticklish," she said as she rubbed her nose and Tom kissed her nose again making her laugh as she turned away from him to prevent him from doing it again.

"By the way, our date tomorrow is on me, so don't you dare think about splurging your money," she warned and he grinned.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" He asked and she shrugged.

"Not yet. But I think I have a fair idea," she said and he kissed her lips slowly and passionately for a moment.

"I love you very much," Tom said with a yawn after he broke the kiss and she smiled.

"And I love you too," Lucy said as she let him pull her closer.

Tom wrapped his arms around her and it didn't take long before he drifted off to sleep.

Long after Tom slept, Lucy stayed away in his arms, listening to his heartbeat as she contemplated what to do about her decision.

Should she tell him directly about her change of heart? Should she do so indirectly? Or should she surprise him? Lucy mused thinking about the most dramatic way to go about it.

Perhaps she could wait until a year's time to raise the subject again as they had discussed? She mused and then shook her head.

No. That wouldn't be nice. She knew that keeping it for that long would only make Tom spend a long time worrying about her decision and she didn't want that for him. Keeping such an information from Tom for that long wouldn't be fair to him.

It wasn't like the were going to get married anytime soon even if she told him about it now, but then again knowing Tom he might want to get married to her immediately for fear that she might change her mind, Lucy thought with a giggle.

"Are you okay?" Tom asked sleepily when he heard her laugh.

"Never been better," Lucy assured him as she patted his back so he would go back to sleep.

She would rather surprise him. Perhaps with a proposal? Or maybe a pregnancy? She thought and then shook her head.

No. Not a pregnancy. She would like them to go about it all the right way by following the right order.

An engagement, a wedding, and then pregnancy.

A proposal sounded better, she thought with a grin as she tried to imagine the surprised look on Tom's face if she did something like that.

He would be surprised no doubt, and she knew for sure that he would be happy. Ecstatic even.

The mere thought of surprising him like that made her feel lightheaded with joy.

Now all she had to do was figure out the right time and right place to do it. She would need all the help she could get from Sonia and Candace in planning it. And maybe Harry as well.

She trusted Harry to keep it a secret from Tom so she could pull it off perfectly. She couldn't wait to do it, Lucy thought with a smile as she drifted off to sleep.

All she dreamt about that night was her proposal to Tom.

She woke up with a smile on her face the next morning, and her smile widened when she saw that Tom was still asleep.

He looked so handsome even in his sleep, and the beard stubble on his chin only seemed to add to his sex appeal. The more time she spent watching him, the hotter she felt inside.

She traced her finger over his lips, and smiled when his face twitched in reaction to the touch and he turned his face away.

This man was going to be her husband and the father of their kids, Lucy thought as she watched him, and her heart skipped a beat when Tom murmured her name in his sleep.

Lucy looked down when she felt his erection pressing against her waist, and she reached for it and squeezed it gently making Tom groan as he opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Tom asked as he l focused on Lucy who was grinning at him as she kept massaging his cock through his boxers.

"Waking you up," she said even though it was barely seven in the morning yet.

"That's quite a way to wake me up," he said and she smiled as leaned closer to him, and surprised him by kissing him.

Tom was slightly taken aback since he knew very well that she didn't like such morning kisses because of bad breath, and he was even more shocked when reached for the waistband of his boxers and motioned for him to take it off as she kept kissing him.

Not being one to resist such temptations from Lucy, he took off his boxers without letting her break the kiss, and once he had done that he slid his hand under her flimsy night dress since she was fond of not wearing undies to bed now.

"You're wet already," he said in surprise when he touched her juicy slit.

"What can I say? Watching you sleep turned me on," she said with a smile as she sat up and took off her night dress.

Tom watched in fascination as she straddled him, and inserted his cock inside her.

"I must have looked pretty hot," Tom said with a grin as he placed a hand on her waist while the other went to her boobs.

"You have no idea," Lucy said with a wink as she rolled her hips slowly and Tom groaned.

"Oh!" She gasped when Tom suddenly thrust into her from under.

"You like that, yeah?" He asked and she moaned in response as he continued to thrust her from under.

Once they were both sated and lay gasping on the bed, Tom smiled at her, "Good morning sweetheart. Perhaps I should be letting you wake me up going forward," Tom said and she giggled as she rolled off the bed.

"Let's clean up. We have a lot to do today. You're due for a haircut and a shave. I will take you out for that before we go visit my parents," Lucy said and Tom smiled as he took the hand she offered to help him get off the bed.

"You sound like you've got the day all figured out," Tom said and she nodded.
