Webs And Wishes - Tom Holland

Chapter 11.

Day 12
Tom's POV

What was she laughing at now? She was hugging her phone quite close to her body and had earphones in so I had no clue as to what it could be. There was a very good chance it was me though.

She turned to me, a mischievous grin on her face.

"Hey Movie Star!" She kept her face still for enough time for the shock to register on my face before collapsing laughing.

"Oh you just wait until my nose heals and I can kiss you senseless..." I growled. One of her perfect brows raised high in the air.

"And what are you going to do until then..." Her eyes narrowed, "Movie Star."

Right, that was it. If she wanted to play that game, I knew exactly how to get to her without a touch.

"Hmm... It's a little warm in here, don't you think? I'm so hot." A smirk spread across my face.

She stroked a finger down my jawline.

"You feel fine to me." Her voice wasn't much louder than a whisper.

"Oh really? Well I might just... Find a way to cool down." With that I quickly pulled my thin tee over my head, discarding it on the floor.

"Much better." I noticed with visible satisfaction that her jaw had dropped slightly, eyes sliding up and down my muscled torso.

"I'll say..." She murmured, biting her lip.

It was my turn to raise my eyebrow now.

"Still glad I can't kiss you yet?" The smug look on my face and the longing on hers was well worth it. Really, really worth it.

Shaking her head slightly in an almost unconscious movement, her hands found her way to my bare skin. They roamed freely over me, settling on my back, her body pressed against mine. Her top was cropped, her hot bare skin along side mine and my tan contrasted massively to her pale tones.

"You know, I have something we have to do later. But you're not going to like it."

Lily's POV

"Karaoke?" Tom's brow furrowed.

"Yeah! I love to sing. And I love when you sing..." I looked bashful. "I can hear you in the shower sometimes." I admitted, my cheeks already red.

"Oh really?" His brows raised up again, a slightly bemused look on his face.

"You're gonna do karaoke with me whether you like it or not!" I tried to guide the conversation away from shower songs.

"Who am I to say no to you darling?" The way his accent shone through when he called me 'darling' melted my heart. Of course, I was British too so I had heard loads of other people with his accent, but only he could make it sound that goddamn sexy!

I gently kissed his still-bare chest. Even if I had to be careful around his face, it don't mean I couldn't make the most of the rest of him, did it? A low noise emenated from the back of his throat.

"Should we get this over with?" He smiled winningly at me.

"Let's do it." I giggled a little and guided him through the rooms, still kissing him wherever possible. I just wanted more of him...

Distracting myself, I handed him a microphone. He put his t-shirt back on, much to my silent disappointment. The songs weren't the best, but we quickly settled on Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

My hand still resting on his muscles, the lyrics began to appear on screen.

He sang. Beautifully. Although it was impossible to find him singing online, he clearly practiced. If I had love his voice before, now I was in heaven. The words flowed over me, more like liquid gold than water. He didn't break eye contact with me once during the whole song, trying to tell me a thousand ways he loved me through the powerful stare he was giving me. It wasn't possible to describe the way he sang, the way it sent shivers down my spine, the way it made me want more than anything to get rid of the rest of those clothes and...

Calm down Lily. It's your turn.

Tom's POV

Wow. As if she wasn't perfect (no pun intended) before, she certainly was now. I didn't usually feel comfortable singing near anyone, but with her it was different.

Her voice was the literal definition of power. Her tone was surprisingly deep, yet rich like chocolate. That was the best way to describe it. Chocolate. I definitely wanted her sweet, sweet taste right now. She wasn't quite as invested in keeping her eyes on me as I was, but she easily made up for it with her soft touch.

We ended up singing more and more songs, only stopping eventually when my throat was raw and my mind in cloud nine. She still sounded as good as when we started, even nature accepting that she was clearly untouchable. My mind wandered to how untouchable she really was - I was sure I would be touching all of her very soon...

Stop it Tom! As much as I didn't want to admit, the fact that she was sixteen did mean I was a little more reserved with her than I would've been otherwise. So I told my mind to distract itself.

Somehow we had ended up back on the sofa where we had started, her head settled back into it's usual spot on my chest.

Lily's POV

I could hear his slow heartbeat from this position, the beats aligning with the gentle rise and fall of his chest.

"Lil? You awake?" I realised I was beginning to drift off, but his voice brought me back.

"Mmm." A hummed response.

"You know how you're sixteen?"

"Mmm."

He struggled for words. "Well... Have you, I mean, been with someone... And, you know, had... Intimate or, no, i meant-"

I lifted my head as he stopped abruptly at my wide-eyed smile. It really was quite funny.

"No. I've never really... Been with anyone properly before. You're different anyway. Because I really love you. I'd die for you." I said quietly.

"Well don't go dieing on me. I need you too much." He smiled back at me as my head fell back down to his chest and his hand found its way into my hair.
