Cat's Love & The Secrets of Space: An Eric Singer & Tommy Thayer Story

Chapter 3- Glass Nightmares & I'm Here for You (Eric Singer POV)

I am abruptly jarred out of my sleep, by strange sounds...it takes me but a moment to realize the sounds are coming from Tommy and my eyes widen.... He's whimpering in his sleep and saying 'no' & 'stop hurting me!' over & over and soon he begins to thrash about...he's having a nightmare!! And a terrible one at that....and tears roll down his cheeks & suddenly he wakes up screaming bloody murder...I take him in my arms & hold him tight.... He's very disoriented right now & fights my hold...I just hold him tighter while he sobs heart-wrenching sobs.

"Shh, Tommy...I'm here baby. I'm here. I've got you. I'm not letting go.... listen to my voice. Please, my space-prince...shh I'm here...", I whisper tearfully. Oh Tommy, what did that bitch do to you? I have suspicions...but I can only imagine if I knew the full extent, the truth.... I know you believe I'd leave you if I fully knew...but Tommy I'm not going anywhere, EVER.

Tommy continues to sob for over half an hour, and it breaks my heart.... finally, he manages to calm down enough to speak...

"Eric, I-I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to w-wake you!" Tommy looks as if he's ready to start crying again and on the verge on a panic attack. I have yet to let go of him by the way.

"Tommy, Tommy.... don't apologize baby...I've told you; you can wake me for whatever reason, anytime you need me, ok? And I love you space-prince.", I run my fingers thru his hair and rub his back gently.

"Eric, I don't deserve---", I cut him off quickly...

"Yes, you do! You do deserve me! You're my life, my world...", My tone gentle yet firm.

"I can't go back to sleep Eric.... I just can't. And kitty, I don't know what I'd do without you. Really, I don't.", Tommy's eyes are puffy from crying, voice hoarse, and eyes red-rimmed.... I stoke his face gently & bring my lips to his kissing him softly and he responds as if he fears letting go of me.... An idea occurs to me, which I hope will make my husband feel better and maybe even earn a smile, however slight...

"Tommy, how about I run you a bath to help you relax? And put in your favorite scent, lavender, and roses? Lavender is really good for calming & relaxing, and I'll stay with you if you want." Slowly a smile spreads across his face...Tommy's smiles are like priceless gems. Rare and to be treasured.

"I'd love that, Eric. Thank you. And would you join me in the bath maybe?"

I kiss him, "Absolutely Tommy. Let me go get that started, ok? Or here why don't you just come with me while I get started?" He nods shyly and I see a faint blush on his face.... WE get out of bed, and I take him by the hand into our bathroom and get to work. Turning on the water in our tub, jacuzzi by the way...perks of being a Rockstar and make sure it's not super-hot, but exactly right & I add Tommy's favorite scent to the water as the tub fills.

I turn to my husband, "Ok, so it's filling up and it won't take but a moment. "Tommy smiles and I can feel his gratefulness, feel his happiness...that's what this is about, taking his mind off things and just doing something to show him I care. I begin to strip, and Tommy does the same & soon we are bare to one another. Tommy ogles me, and this time I am the one to blush.... of course, I'm ogling him back...God, is he beautiful! And how lucky am I that he's married to me? Quickly I realize the tub is full and I bend over and turn the water off and I feel Tommy's gaze on me...

"See something you like babe? You can look & touch ALL you want."

"I see something I love...YOU. And oh, I plan on looking & touching allright...", Tommy purrs out. Purrs! And here I thought that was me since I am the Catman. Stepping into the tub first, I get in and then help my husband in...jets are on & he lays back against my chest as I hold him to me.

Both of us just simply content in one another's company....

"Hey Eric? Thank you, for being here for me...for doing this...for all that you do, my rock and I love you. I can't thank you enough for not pushing me about my past...I'm still not ready, not sure if I ever will be.... just please don't ever leave me." Tommy whispers quietly.

"Tommy, I will NEVER leave you no matter what, I mean that! I do these things because I love you, and I hope one day you will tell my everything, but until then I am here.", I answer back just as quietly. He turns in my hold to where he's facing me & there are tears in his eyes but not tears of sadness, no not sadness....and he kisses me making me melt.

"Eric, I need you...please...just love me now." Tommy asks & even underwater I can feel his need.

"Tommy, you need never ask me. And I will most certainly love you now...I'll love you forever." I purr just slightly, feeling friction as we grind on each other.... He doesn't need prep and I carefully maneuver him to where he's riding me, and I begin thrusting.... He pants & moans & purrs.... our love making is so very emotional.... Water sloshes everywhere.... Tommy clutches at me for dear life and throws his head back in bliss.... before long we reach our climaxes, both crying out our satiation & love....

Afterwards, I carefully help Tommy out of the rub & we get changed back into sleep wear and I carry him to the bed and tuck him in and then go to the bathroom & clean up the mess.... I come back into the bedroom...finding Tommy struggling to stay awake.

I Get in bed and pull him to me, "Shh, Tommy.... go to sleep. I'm here baby.... I'm here. Love you." Quickly my husband drops off to sleep & I immediately follow.
