Tommys pov She doesn't want to be with Tristan. He's holding the fact that those coppers are keeping her alive in order to have her. He doesn't bloody deserve her. And she doesn't deserve that. Today is the day we go to London. Not for business though we might end up talking that anyway, but for a good time. Not that she knows that. I find her place and park and head to the door and knock. She opens it wearing the dress I had someone drop of for her. Gods she's fucking stunning.

She takes my hand I offer and I say "you look stunning tonight love" she grins "and you look handsome Tommy" I open the car door for her and help her in closing it and getting in my side and driving. She says "about what I said about Tristan last night...forget about it" what? How can I? She's not happy with him. She's doing what she thinks she has to do to survive and it's fucked. He doesn't deserve or love her. He leaves her any chance he bloody gets. I often see him chatting up Lizzie stark. Not that I'd tell her. I don't think she'd care or believe me anyway. He's a prick.
He deserves hell for being part of what hurt her so much. She watched her family get raped and murdered. She was raped herself. And was barely hanging onto life I bet. She revealed to me that he was the first one to rape her. And then he made her watch him do the same to her little sister and mother and then he came back to her. They all did. I'm going to hunt every single one of them down and end them slowly for what they had done to her. She's grown numb. Living beside the man who's hurt her so much. Not having a choice.
I say "you can't ask me to do that Lucy" driving. "I just did Thomas. I shouldn't have said anything about any of it. I can handle myself. So just forget about it" "you don't need to Lucy. I know you can do it yourself. You've been doing it for years now. But you don't need to anymore. I can handle him and give you the freedom you deserve and yearn for love" I tell her.
She replies "Tommy there's nothing to be done or that you can do. Drop it okay?" I clench my jaw at the thought "he touches you I want you to take this and slit his throat" handing her a knife. She huffs out a chuckle "thank you" inspecting it. I nod and ask her "how's your hangover now love?" With a chuckle "you get me drunk so I'd be willing to share my life story Tommy?" She asks with a chuckle. I take her hand "never" I question "why did you stay? You could've ran. Anything" she replies "I tried. It didn't do me well. They killed who I ran to." I nod "he touch you again since you?" Worried she's just getting raped anytime she gets home. They're planning to move in within the next week or so finally. I offered to pay that bill of theirs but she refused it.
She replies "he comes home too wasted most of the time." I nod and reply "what cops were they? From where?" "Tommy" she warns and adds "I appreciate your worry. I do. But your family doesn't deserve a war. Especially because of me" "they won't mind. They've been itchin for some sort of action recently. Besides they all like ya" I say and she looks at me "alright. Alright" I surrender.
I'll find out. And one by one I'll have them dropping like flies. They'll never even know what's hit them.
Graces pov He rolls off of me and pants and I do the same. "Does she know?" I ask getting a cigarette. He asks smoking one of his own now "what? That you know about the attack on her family? How would she?" I shrug "I get the feeling that she knows something. I don't know it might just be me Tristan" he smiles that smile at me caressing my face "she doesn't know shit. She doesn't know I've been funneling out her money and saving it for us. She doesn't know I'm with you. And she doesn't know that you know what I did to her simply because I felt like it" she's super fucking rich.
He only fucked her to serve a lesson about betrayals and lies. That's it. He's never hurt me before and he's not like that. He's not a cop anymore. He left it behind for me. For us. He applied with Tommy to get closer to me. So we can spend real time together. I love Tommy. I do. How long am I supposed to try with him before I go elsewhere for my pleasures? That's all Tristan is for me. Simple pleasures. But I feel something for him. But not how I do for Tommy. I'm going to make Tommy and Tristan richer than ever leaving poor little Lucille with nothing like she deserves. She's a bloody traitor. I had to pull Lucy closer to get to Tristan. I don't honestly like her.
Tommys pov
Here we are having the time of our lives dancing and drinking together. I pull her to me her eyes on mine the air growing thick between us "have I told you how bloody beautiful you are love?" Blush spreads on her face "you've mentioned it once or twice Tommy. Also. Thank you for the dress its beautiful" she says.
I grin "you deserve a dress just as beautiful as you are" she chuckles "Tommy" she keeps pushing me away. Pointing out that I'm married. I don't care about Grace. I haven't in a while. And she for damn sure doesn't care about Tristan. So why stop? Anytime we're together she looks at me begging me to fuck her. And I know I look at her the same way. Yearning. But I won't touch her unless she says it. Or touches me first. She's had enough of men touching her when she doesn't want them to.
I nod and we joke a bit more and soon she's joining John and Arthur doing shots. I chuckle watching her go. Polly asks "you gonna ditch the copper?" I tell her "grace isn't a copper" "she's betrayed you once Tommy. Who's to say she won't do it again? Or already isn't? I see how you look at Lucy. It's unlike the way you ever looked at Grace. She's perfect with Charlie" she says. I reply "she's engaged. I'm getting to know my best friends best mate" "without your wife here? Having spent thousands on that dress alone. The jewelry more, the shoes too? Tommy you're on a date. I can see she wants you too. It's been all over the both of ya since you set eyes on one another" she replies leaving me. Fuck. The boys and I talk business her watching as we do so. Them smiling at her continued presence.
Soon I've driven her home and I walk her to the door "I had a good time tonight love" I speak my eyes on her as she fiddles with the key. She stops and turns to face me with a smile. Fuck. "Me too. Thank you for tonight Tommy" I step closer "Tommy" she says and I stroke her cheek "tell me to stop and I will." She doesn't. She looks at my lips then back to my eyes. I kiss her deeply pinning her to the door as I do so. My hands caress her body and she moans and I slip my tongue into her mouth pulling her in deeper. Her fingers in my hair. She freezes and I curse internally knowing she's about to pull away. Say it's a mistake. And leave. She does. Her fingers on her lips "Tommy" "Lucy" I sigh as she makes space between us. All I want is to have her. No space between us. "This can't happen again. You're married! To my best friend and...oh my god...Tommy I nanny your son! In your home! The one you share with your wife! Wife! She's never going to forgive me if she finds out Tommy and-" I kiss her again. She freezes before melting into it kissing me back before she moves again. "Breathe love. Yeah? Grace won't find out. Not from me. And I doubt she'll find out from you either. I don't love her. I don't. I haven't for a while. She was there with Charlie. A good enough holder for what I needed. I see you and want more than that. You've made me feel more alive in these weeks than any of the days I've ever spent with her." I say gently to her. She shakes her head "this can't happen Tommy. I'm sorry" and leaves me outside on her doorstep. I walk away with a smirk. She proved what I already thought. She wants me. Just as bad as I want her. She just has to want me more than her fake fucking friendship with grace.
