Downton Abbey (English)

5. Unexpected developments the morning after

"Mary," he actually growled and quite out of breath, "that was mean of you today! And I told you in Downton: I like it when you're so calculating and I like it when I fight and then win in the end." Mary looked at Tom wide-eyed and couldn't help but teasingly with her tongue running over her lips. This wasn't overseen from him and he couldn't prevent a small groan. Egged on by this reaction, Mary slid her hand towards Toms middle again. He couldn't help it and closed his eyes. He enjoyed this feeling, which Mary didn't miss either. She then grabbed it harder, which Tom promptly rewarded with another moan. Mary was pleased and enjoyed the power over him in turn. After a few more minutes of this pleasurable torture, she pushed him away, ran away and just said: "See you soon, I'll meet you at dinner." Tom couldn't believe it. Mary was amazing. Completely aroused, she left him here in the hall and left.

,Just wait. Revenge is sweet.' was his only right thought. He went to his room to get ready for dinner. This time, however, he had to lend a hand himself, otherwise he would not survive the meal. 'Tonight, tonight I'm going to win' was his last thought before he went to eat. The meal was unremarkable, except that Tom couldn't believe how erotically Mary ate her roast.

'This is pure calculation,' was the only thought he was capable of. However, he controlled himself, both during the meal and afterwards in the drawing room.

The servants shouldn't suspect or notice anything. To Marys disappointment, Tom made no move to respond to her efforts. He wished her good night and disappeared into his room. However, she couldn't see the lascivious grin on his face. Rather disappointed, Mary got ready for bed and lay down in the dark.

,This can not be. I don't think he can sleep now.', she thought disappointed.

***********************************************************************************************

Tom used the short time in his room to calm down. He was aware that he and Mary had similar desires and ideas. In quiet anticipation he took off his jacket, which would only bother him later, and hung it over a chair.

He waited a few more minutes and then quietly crept across the hall to her room. With an ear to the door, he tried to find out if Mary was already in her bed.

Not hearing her speak to Anna, he assumed that it was the case.

Tom carefully opened the door and realized that Mary must be in her bed as all the lights were already out. In the dark he tried to orientate himself and happily ran to her. Just as he was about to cautiously grope his way towards her, his eyes began to adjust to the darkness. He realized that Mary wasn't in her bed. Irritated, he straightened up and let his eyes wander around the room.

Mary, on the other hand, stood behind him. As her eyes were already adjusted to the darkness, she could clearly see the surprise on his face. 'This time I win!' she thought before pushing him towards the bed and straddling him .

Briefly caught off guard by the new situation, Tom let Mary take the lead. 'Let her enjoy it, we'll both get what we want in the end.' Was his last thought before she kissed him deeply.

Mary noticed Tom's reluctance and was pleased about it. To keep the lead, this time she took his hands and locked them over his head. She still remembered her feelings in her dream very clearly and hoped that this would have the same effect on him.

She cautiously approached his face. She looked deep into his eyes and then lowered her lips to his. Tom greedily wanted to loosen his hands, but Mary whispered: "No, leave them exactly where they are now." Tom looked deep into her eyes and realized in disbelief that she was waiting spellbound for his reaction. ,I can wait. I just don't know for how long,' he thought to himself, signaling Mary to continue. Egged on by Toms lack of resistance, Mary now kissed him demandingly. She pressed her lips tightly to his and tongued her way in. He granted her this immediately. Moaning softly, Mary enjoyed the kiss that was becoming more and more intense. Her moans sent a short electric jolt up Toms spine, right in his middle. A slight smirk on his lips, he tried to urge her with his kiss to continue.
