Somebody to hold t.h.

Chapter Thirty Eight

Tom released his tight grip on her waist and held her at an arms length away from him, studying her confused face. Her eyes fell down towards his hands and she took one of them into her small one, caressing the prominent veins on his arms with her fingertips making shivers run down his spine.
"You have pretty hands.", she whispered distractedly.

"You too baby.", he smiled still staring at her face even though her gaze was still fixated on his arms. It was ridiculous how his overall beauty could distract her from just about anything.

"Evie?", he asked in a low voice wanting her to focus back on the topic they were just discussing. But since Evie's mind was still all over the place he had no choice but surprise her by pushing her up against the nearest wall firmly, careful not to hurt her though. Evie yelped in surprise and watched him with widened eyes.

"I want you to listen to me baby.", he said in a low voice. That voice that made Evie wordlessly nod because she would never dare to disagree. She wanted to obey.

"Of course I want you to be mine. I've wanted you since I first saw you in the office, but getting to know you better I realized that I am infatuated by you. You're all I think about, your well-being, your happiness, everything. When we didn't talk I felt like the best part about my life right now was missing. Some would say I am obsessed with you and I'm sorry I know I can be a bit much sometimes but I really need you to be mine.", he whispered shocking her completely.

"I hate the thought of you being with someone else. I want you to be mine exclusively and officially. The things we did yesterday, when you let me kiss you, I felt like the king of the world."

Evie searched his eyes for sarcasm or humor but she couldn't find it, all she found was honesty and admiration. And her own eyes returned that look.

"Tommy I love being with you. You really make me feel like home and I've never really had a home. I can be very needy, you already know that but I want to remind you. I don't want it to bother you on the long run.", she rambled making him chuckle.
"Baby your neediness is what made me fall for you in the first place. Can I tell you a secret?", he asked smiling at her.
She couldn't do anything but nod, trying to process what he just said.

"I am needy too, but only for you."

"I think I am in love with you Tommy.", she said meeting his intense eye contact. She felt like she was floating. Her heart was bursting in her chest and she felt tingles all over her body. He made her feel these things just by talking to her. She really must be in love. And if this was love she never wanted to live without it.

Hearing her say that was music to Tom's ears. He wasn't sure of her feelings towards him, knowing her affectionate personality was just caused by her neediness so he never tried to read too much into it. It was just yesterday when she let him kiss her that he thought she might be reciprocating his feelings. But hearing her ask about him wanting her to be „his" he had to risk it all.

His possessive side was slowly showing as he was pressing himself some more into her, trapping her between himself and the wall.

"Does that mean you will be my girl now?", he asked stroking the hair away that was covering the hickey he gave her this morning.
"I am already yours."

At that Tom really lost it, gripping her waist and carrying her to his bedroom. Evie was a giggling mess, surprised by his sudden actions.

"Say that again please?", he asked, his possessive side needy to hear it again and again.

"I am yours.", she whispered as he leaned down to hover over her body completely, making her stop breathing.
"Mine.", he whispered before slamming his lips against hers, kissing her hungrily wanting to savor this moment forever.
