Scornful Revenge

Chapter Five

After Tom cleaned off the dining table and cleaned off the dishes, he decided to go back to the bedroom. He knocked softly on the door and placed his other hand on the doorknob.

"Alice?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I come in now?" Tom asked.

"I guess. You have to go to bed at some point."

Tom laughed quietly to himself before opening the door. He saw Alice laying on her left side horizontally over the bed. Tom leaned against the doorframe as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I know I can't force you to do anything, but I want you to think about this, okay? This isn't just something you do, you have to put thought behind it." Tom explained.

"I have thought about it. I've thought about it ever since I got pregnant."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I would have taken years off of auditioning to care for her so what good would an active membership do if I'm not auditioning?" Alice told him.

"Why didn't you say anything before? Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Yeah, I was, but it seems like we never talk much anyway so..."

"What do you mean by that?" Tom furrowed his brow. "We talk all the time."

"Not about what I really want to talk about!" Alice groaned.

She sat up on the bed as Tom stepped into the room, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What do you want to talk about?"
"You know what?"
Tom bit the inside of his cheek as he glanced down at the sheets.

"You just always change the subject or do something to make me forget about what I want to say." Alice explained.

"I'm not ready to talk about it."

"Why?"
"I'm just not!" He seethed.

Alice flinched as Tom clenched his fists together, letting out a deep breath.

"I'm not ready." He said softly.

"Okay."

The two got themselves ready for bed and before they got under the covers, Tom walked over to Alice. She had her head down and watched as Tom took her hands in his. Tom swallowed the lump in his throat as he glanced down at her hands, running his thumb over the skin.

"I know I'll be ready at some point I just don't know when." Tom whispered.

"I get it. But when you're ready, I'll be there," Alice whispered back. "I miss you, Tom."

"I miss you, too, love. I just want my lively, little firecracker back." Tom chuckled.

"She's here. I'm here, Tom."

Alice placed her hands on his cheeks and got on her tip-toes to lay a tender kiss to his lips. Tom wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing himself against her, deepening the kiss. As he set her back down, he laughed through the kiss, feeling her pull at the hem of his shirt. Tom lifted his arms and pulled back from the kiss so she could remove his shirt. She threw it to the floor as Tom leaned in, taking her face in his hands and pulling her into a kiss. Alice untied the string of her pants and pushed them down to her ankles, kicking them away. Tom's hands then caressed down her body, ending at her rear. He squeezed the flesh and moaned through the kiss, feeling that she had no panties on. Tom lifted her into his arms and carefully laid her down on the bed, cradling her head.

Not once breaking the kiss, Tom pushed down his sweatpants and took himself in his hand. Alice wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer as she bucked her hips up towards his. She pulled back from the kiss and gasped as Tom thrust himself inside of her. She pressed her hands against his chest and the two moaned together as he started to move his hips. Tom panted heavily as he rolled his hips hearing Alice react to him as she matched his rhythm. Tom then reached between them and began circling her clit, causing Alice to throw her head back into the mattress as she let out a high-pitched sob.
