What if the UC mission had ended well (Season 5, Episode 1)

Part 47

As they continued eating, the conversation flowed effortlessly, with Tim, Lucy, and Tamara sharing stories, laughter, and their hopes for the future. The cozy ambiance of The Lantern made the evening feel even more special, and their enjoyment of the meal was matched by their excitement about the upcoming changes.
The plates were eventually cleared, and the dessert menu was brought out. Tim, always a fan of sweet treats, ordered a rich lava cake. Tamara decided on a classic cheesecake, while Lucy, having already enjoyed a generous portion of the main course, decided to skip dessert for the time being.
Lucy- I'm actually so full right now. I think I'm going to pass on dessert.
Tamara- Oh, come on! Just try a little of mine. You don't know what you're missing.
Tamara cut a piece of her cheesecake and offered it to Lucy. Lucy hesitated for a moment but then took a bite. The creamy, tangy sweetness of the cheesecake was delightful.
Lucy- Wow, this is really good.
Tamara- Glad you like it!
Tim's lava cake arrived next, and its rich chocolate aroma filled the air. As Tim savored his dessert, Lucy couldn't resist the temptation. She took a forkful of Tim's lava cake, and the molten chocolate center was as delicious as she had anticipated.
Tim- You seem to be enjoying that more than I am.
Lucy- I can't help it! This lava cake is irresistible.
Tim chuckled, clearly not minding that Lucy had taken such a liking to his dessert.
Tim- Go ahead, enjoy it.
Lucy ended up eating half of Tim's lava cake, thoroughly enjoying every bite. Tim, watching her with amusement, was more than happy to share. Tamara, still savoring her cheesecake, couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
When it was time to leave, Tim settled the bill, and they made their way to the parking lot.
Tim opened the car door for Tamara, then for Lucy, and after they got in, he drove them to Lucy's place, soon to be Tamara's place. As they pulled up to the building, Tamara looked back at them with a thoughtful expression.
Tamara- Hey, you guys, would you like to come up for a bit? I was thinking it'd be nice to unwind with a movie or something, if you're up for it.
Lucy and Tim exchanged glances, both smiling at the idea.
Lucy- That sounds like a lot of fun. We'd love to.
Tim- Yeah, we'd be happy to.
Lucy led the way to the building, her steps light with the contentment of a perfect evening. Tim and Tamara followed closely behind, the night air crisp and refreshing.
As they entered the building, Lucy unlocked the door to her apartment. She turned on the lights, and they were greeted by the familiar, cozy interior. Tim immediately headed for the kitchen, his eyes scanning for snacks.
Tim- Anything in particular you're craving, Tam?
Tamara- Oh, anything you find will be great. Maybe some chips or pretzels?
Tim nodded and rummaged through the pantry, emerging with a bowl of pretzels and a bag of chips. He set them on the coffee table in the living room, where Lucy and Tamara were already settling in.
Lucy- Thanks, Tim.
Tamara selected a popular comedy film from the streaming, and with a few clicks, the movie began. The room was soon filled with the soft glow of the TV screen and the opening credits of the film.
Lucy settled onto the couch in the middle, pulling a throw blanket over her lap as she made herself comfortable. Tamara, on her left, shifted closer and leaned against her shoulder in a casual, familiar way, resting her head lightly. It felt natural, and Lucy smiled, wrapping one arm around her as the opening credits of the movie rolled across the screen.
Tim sat down next to Lucy on her right, close enough to feel the warmth of her presence. As the movie played, he too found himself leaning in toward Lucy, resting slightly against her as they shared the quiet, relaxed atmosphere of the evening.
The three of them sat close, cozy under the dim light from the TV. The soft laughter from the movie's jokes blended with the comfortable silence between them. Tim reached for the bowl of pretzels on the table and passed it over to Tamara, who grabbed a handful, still keeping her head resting on Lucy's shoulder.
As the movie played on, the three of them remained huddled together on the couch, content in each other's company. The lighthearted comedy had them all laughing, and every now and then, one of them would make a comment or joke that added to the fun. Tim occasionally reached for a few pretzels, passing them to Tamara, who would absentmindedly take them without moving from her cozy spot leaning against Lucy.
When the credits finally rolled, no one made a move to get up right away. Instead, they stayed in the warmth of the moment, enjoying the relaxed silence that followed. The glow from the TV softly lit the room as they began to chat again, this time moving to more personal, random topics—about work, plans for the weekend, and the exciting transition of Lucy moving in with Tim.
After a few minutes, Tim suddenly remembered something important he had been meaning to give Tamara. He sat up a little straighter, patting his pocket before pulling out a small key.
Tim- I almost forgot. Tam, we wanted to give you this.
Tamara's eyes lit up with curiosity as she turned her attention to the shiny key in Tim's hand.
Tamara- What's that?
Tim handed it over with a smile.
Tim- It's an extra key to our place. You know, just in case you ever need it. We figured it'd be easier for you to have one, especially once Lucy moves in. And just so you have it.
Tamara looked at the key in her palm, touched by the gesture.
Tamara- Wow, that's so sweet of you guys! Are you sure? I mean, you do realize that I can now just barge in whenever I want.
Lucy leaned forward, grinning warmly.
Lucy- Of course, we're sure! You're family to us, Tam. It's just practical, really. Plus, we trust you.
Tim chuckled, giving Tamara a playful look.
Tim- To be clear, while you're always welcome... maybe give us a little heads-up before you swing by.
Tamara raised an eyebrow.
Tamara- Why's that?
Tim- Let's put it that way... there are things you don't want to walk into.
Tamara raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms and leaned back on the couch.
Tamara- Is there seriously no other place in your entire house where you two could, I don't know, handle your "business"? Does it have to be right there in the entryway or living room?
Tim's face lit up with a mischievous grin as he leaned back on the couch, clearly ready to embrace the joke.
Tim- Oh, Tam, you've got no idea. There are plenty of places we could, "handle business."
He started counting on his fingers, leaning in playfully.
Tim- Well, first, there's the living room, obviously. Then the kitchen... the dining room table, too. The hallway, that one little alcove by the window...
Tamara raised her eyebrows even higher, and Lucy shook her head but laughed, fully aware that Tim was just messing around.
Tim- Oh! And the laundry room, that could be fun. The bathroom, definitely. The bedroom... and maybe the guest room too if we're feeling adventurous. Actually, there's that spot by the fireplace, nice and cozy...
As Tim continued, his eyes brightened with ideas as if he were getting way too into it, his grin turning from playful to a bit more devious.
Tim- You know, now that I think about it... the stairwell could be interesting. Ooh, and the balcony! There's something about fresh air—
Lucy's eyes widened as she saw the shift in Tim's face, and she quickly gave him a shove.
Lucy- Alright, that's enough, Romeo!
Tim laughed as he snapped back to reality, his playful expression turning sheepish. Tamara was cracking up, leaning into the armrest, clearly enjoying the absurdity of it all.
Tamara- I feel like I just got an entire mental room tour of your place.
Tim raised his hands in surrender, still laughing.
Tim- Hey, just saying—options, right?
Lucy shook her head, still grinning but pretending to scold him.
Lucy- You were getting way too into that.
Tamara chimed in, wiping a tear from her eye.
Tamara- Yeah, and now I'm going to be paranoid every time I visit! No place is safe.
Tim- Okay, okay, I'll tone it down. But seriously, give us a heads-up when you're stopping by. For everyone's sake.
Lucy chuckled, her cheeks still a little pink from Tim's over-the-top list. She shook her head, leaning back into the couch as Tamara composed herself.
Lucy- Trust me, Tam, we'll stick to the normal places.
Lucy turned to Tim, an incredulous yet amused expression on her face. She raised an eyebrow, unable to hold back a grin.
Lucy- Seriously, Tim? The balcony? You might as well suggest doing it in the driveway at that point. The only difference is that, at least in the driveway, there's no chance of anyone falling from that height!
Tamara burst out laughing at Lucy's remark. Tim looked momentarily caught off guard, his playful grin faltering.
Tim- Hey, I didn't say it was practical, just... possible.
Lucy smirked, raising an eyebrow as she crossed her arms.
Lucy- Yeah, if you want the whole world to see us doing it. Might as well set up a live stream while you're at it, right?
Tamara laughed so hard she had to clutch her stomach, tears brimming in her eyes. Tim's face flushed, but he was still grinning, enjoying the back-and-forth.
Tim- Okay, okay, maybe not that public.
He waved his hands as if surrendering again, his cheeks pink from embarrassment and laughter.
Tim- I'm just saying, if it's dark out, maybe no one's looking.
Lucy shot him a playful glare, leaning forward toward him.
Lucy- Oh, trust me, they would be looking.
Tamara, barely able to catch her breath, chimed in between giggles.
Tamara- Imagine the HOA meetings after that.
The three of them dissolved into laughter again, the playful banter leaving them in high spirits. Tim, recovering from the onslaught of jokes, shook his head in defeat.
Tim- Alright, alright, no balcony. Lesson learned.
Lucy chuckled, shaking her head as she leaned back into the couch, still grinning at Tim.
Lucy- Good call. Let's keep our "business" far away from the public, okay?
Tamara, still wiping away the last of her laughter-induced tears, sat up and stretched.
Tamara- Honestly, I think I've just learned way too much about you two tonight. No place in your house is safe! Now, I need to find some mental bleach after that room tour.
Tim laughed, leaning his head back against the couch.
Tim- We aim to keep things interesting.
Lucy playfully nudged him with her elbow.
The three shared a comfortable silence for a moment, the banter having eased into an easy, relaxed vibe. The warmth of their friendship lingered in the air, as they each settled back into the couch, the glow of the TV lighting up the room.
Tamara- Well, I guess this makes it official—Lucy's moving out. No more cooking sessions and spontaneous movie night in the middle of the night.
Lucy smiled softly, looking over at Tim with a hint of excitement, mixed with sadness in her eyes, turning back to Tamara.
Lucy- It's about time we stop living in two places. But I'm going to miss our late-night chats and random dance parties in the kitchen.
Tamara smiled, her expression softening as she looked at Lucy.
Tamara- Me too, Lucy. It's the end of an era. But hey, it's not like you're moving to the other side of the world. I'll still be around to crash your new place!
Lucy laughed, though there was a touch of nostalgia in her voice.
Lucy- You better! And we'll still have our movie nights, just with Tim as a permanent third wheel.
Tim raised his hand with a grin, as if taking it in stride.
Tim- Hey, I'm a great third wheel. I bring snacks, remember?
Tamara rolled her eyes playfully.
Tamara- Fine, you can stay.
Lucy smiled warmly at Tamara, her eyes reflecting a mixture of affection and bittersweet nostalgia.
Lucy- You know, I'm really going to miss our spontaneous fun times. But you're right, it's not like we're moving to the moon or anything. We'll still be close.
Tamara grinned, reaching out to give Lucy a hug.
Tamara- Definitely. And if you ever need to escape from Tim for a while, my door's always open.
Lucy chuckled, hugging Tamara tightly.
As the laughter from their earlier conversation died down, the atmosphere in the room shifted to a more reflective mood. Lucy gave Tamara one last warm hug before turning to Tim, who was already on his feet.
Tim- Well, it's about time we head back, huh?
Lucy nodded, her gaze drifting to the door.
Lucy- Yeah, I need to grab a few things from my room before we go.
Tim- I'll help.
Lucy smiled gratefully and headed towards her room with Tim following close behind. Once inside, she began to pack a few items into a bag—some more clothes, her study books, and a few personal keepsakes. Tim watched quietly, understanding that this was a bittersweet moment for Lucy.
As Lucy moved to her nightstand, she pulled out a box that Tim recognized immediately. His eyes widened slightly as he saw the assortment of items inside—clearly, it was Lucy's collection of 'adult stuff '. Tim had seen this box before, before Lucy left for UC-Academy, but at that time, she had been somewhat embarrassed about it.
Lucy glanced at Tim with a playful, almost conspiratorial smile, placing the box into her bag.
As Lucy placed the box into her bag, she noticed Tim's gaze lingering a bit longer than usual. His eyes were fixed on the box, and a thoughtful expression was evident on his face. Lucy could almost see the wheels turning in his mind, piecing together how these items might have been used—or could be—part of their experiences together.
Lucy raised an eyebrow, her playful grin widening.
Lucy- Seems like you've got a lot on your mind.
Tim's cheeks flushed slightly, and he shifted his gaze back to Lucy, trying to hide his bemusement behind a sheepish grin.
Tim- Uh, well, I was just... Ahh, we, we.
Lucy's playful grin faded slightly as she noticed Tim's eagerness.
Tim shifted from foot to foot, his impatience becoming more apparent.
Tim- Uh, you know what? We should probably head out now.
Lucy raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips as she zipped up the bag.
Lucy- Oh, so that's what's on your mind?
Tim, his cheeks still flushed with excitement, moved quickly to grab Lucy's bag. He slung it over his shoulder, eager to get going. Lucy watched him with a mix of amusement and affection, her playful teasing giving way to a genuine smile.
Lucy- Alright, let's go then.
As they returned to the living room, Tim made a beeline for Tamara, giving her a quick but heartfelt hug.
Tim- Thanks for everything, Tam.
Tamara smiled, returning the hug with a warmth that reflected their close bond.
Tamara- Anytime.
Lucy stepped forward, giving Tamara a tight hug as well.
Lucy- tonight was perfect. Bye
Tamara chuckled, giving Lucy a final squeeze.
Tamara- It was great.
With their goodbyes said, Lucy and Tim headed out the door. Tim carried the bag to the car, and Lucy followed, her mind still buzzing from the evening's events. The drive to Tim's place was filled with a comfortable silence
As they settled into the car, Tim started the engine and pulled out of the driveway. The streetlights cast a soft glow over the interior of the car, and Lucy glanced over at Tim, her eyes playful yet inquisitive.
Lucy- So, now that we're on our way, you want to tell me what was going on in that head of yours back there? You seemed a bit... preoccupied.
Tim's cheeks flushed slightly, and he chuckled nervously, keeping his eyes on the road.
Tim- Oh, uh, I guess I was just... thinking.
Lucy raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile curling her lips.
Lucy- Really? And what exactly was on your mind?
Tim kept his eyes on the road, his grip on the steering wheel tightening slightly as he tried to find the right words. He could feel Lucy's curious gaze on him, making him more aware of his thoughts.
Tim- Well, I was just imagining a few things.
Lucy's teasing smile widened, and she leaned a bit closer, her eyes glinting with mischief.
Lucy- Oh, was it about us using the toys together? Or were you thinking about me using them by myself? Or was it something else entirely?
Tim's cheeks flushed deeper, and he shot a quick glance at Lucy before turning his attention back to the road. His voice was slightly flustered but amused.
Tim- Uh, well, it was a bit of everything, I guess. I mean, it's hard not to think about...
Lucy- About what?
Lucy's curiosity was piqued, and her teasing smile softened into something more sincere. She noticed Tim's cheeks were flushed and his grip on the steering wheel was a bit tense. Deciding to tease him a little more, she reached over and gently placed her hand on his wrist, feeling the rapid pulse beneath his skin.
Tim's eyes flickered to her hand on his wrist, and he took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.
Tim's pulse raced beneath Lucy's hand, and he took a deep breath, struggling to steady his thoughts. He glanced briefly at her before focusing back on the road, his voice carrying a blend of nervousness and desire.
Tim- I was thinking about how beautiful you are. The way you move and smile, your eyes. Everything —it just makes me want to be close to you.
He shifted slightly in his seat, the intensity of his feelings becoming more evident.
Tim- And, I was also thinking about how I want to fuck you. How I take control, hold you tight , feel the intensity between us, and... well, let's just say I have some pretty vivid thoughts about what I'd like to do.
He paused, his eyes locking onto hers for a moment before he continued, his voice dropping to a more intimate tone.
Tim- But right now, what I really want is to take it slow, take my time. I want to explore every part of you, even dough I already know every part of you. I want kiss you everywhere, spend more time kissing the places you love, see how you react, how you move, look you in the eyes and see you closing them as you focus on the sensation, hear you breathe heavily, moaning, gasping, sighing, whine. I want to feel you around me. I want to smell and taste you. And i want to make every touch and moment meaningful. I want to savor our connection and make it as beautiful and intense as possible.
As Tim's words hung in the air, he could see Lucy's reaction without needing her to say anything. Her breathing had become more uneven, her cheeks flushed with a deepening warmth. The way she shifted in her seat, her body language betraying her excitement, spoke volumes.
Tim glanced over at her, his gaze taking in the flush of desire on her face. He could see the subtle tremor in her breath and the way her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Her hand, now resting on his leg, was warm and urgent, the contact sending a thrill through him.
Feeling the intensity of the moment, Tim's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and he pressed the accelerator a bit more, the car speeding up as his own excitement grew. The streets outside blurred into streaks of light, mirroring the urgency of their desire.
Tim- I can see how much you want this, Luce. It's making me want to get us home even faster.
His voice was low and husky, filled with the same anticipation that had taken over them both. He reached over briefly, his hand brushing against hers, feeling the warmth and electricity of her touch.
The drive continued, each minute stretching into an eternity as they both eagerly awaited the moment they could be alone together. The air in the car was charged with a palpable tension, each passing streetlight illuminating their shared desire and excitement.
As Tim drove, the intensity of the moment between them grew palpable. Lucy's breathing became more uneven, and she shifted restlessly in her seat. Her movements were subtle but unmistakable—the way she pressed her legs together, the slight tremor in her breath—made it clear how much she was feeling the heat of the moment.
Tim's gaze flicked over to Lucy, noticing how her cheeks were flushed and her eyes sparkled with a mix of anticipation and desire. The way she squirmed slightly, trying to find relief, made it apparent that she was already deeply affected.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened, feeling his own excitement building. He could see her reaction without needing to rely on any other clues. It was very clear she was incredibly turned on, and that knowledge only heightened his own desire.
