Chapter 275 No Panties

Chapter 275 No Panties　　As Lucy gradually drifted awake in the morning, the first thing she noticed was Tom's morning erection which was pressing against her ass, making her realize that she was snuggled in Tom's arms in spoon position. She smiled to herself contentedly as she pressed her back into him, loving the feel of their warm naked bodies pressed together. She tried not to move too much so that she wouldn't disturb his sleep as he was still breathing evenly.

Her thoughts drifted to what they had done in the early hours of the morning, and butterflies fluttered in her belly. She couldn't believe that she who was very wary of cuffs and any stuff that had to do with bondage had actually let Tom have his way with her. Did she really trust him that much? Or had she been able to let him do this because she had opened up about the past, and now she no longer felt...

She broke out of her train of thoughts when Tom's hand moved to her boobs and he played with a nipple, "Good morning, sexy," Tom said in a husky voice as he used his other hand to lift the hair on her neck and kissed her softly.

Lucy tried not to focus on his finger on her nipple as she turned in his arm to look at him, "Did I wake you up?" Lucy asked, hoping she didn't.

"No. I've been awake for some time now. Didn't want to leave until you wake you up," Tom said as he brushed some strands of hair away from her face and kissed her forehead.

"I was trying not to wake you up. Sorry I slept off."

"You were exhausted, so it's understandable. You still look like you need to rest some more though," Tom said as he caressed her cheek. 

"When did you fall asleep?" Lucy asked curiously.

"After cleaning you up and taking off your contacts. How come you always sleep off knowing that you are still wearing them?" Tom asked, just in case she hadn't realized yet that he had taken off her contacts once again, and Lucy smiled at him.

"I knew you were going to help me take them off," Lucy said confidently and added, "You did that when I was a random stranger after all, so I was certain you'd take it off. Besides, you're the reason I put them on, so you should at least take them off," Lucy added, making Tom chuckle.

"You don't have to use them anymore if you don't want to. I love you just as much whether you're wearing your glasses or contacts," Tom said, and she smiled.

"What's the time? I think it's the first time we are up in bed talking like this in the morning," Lucy said, and Tom nodded as he propped himself up on his left elbow.

"Should be past eight by now. And yes, that was why I was waiting for you to wake up before leaving," Tom said as he reached out with his thumb to touch her chin while thinking about all the times they had spent the night together. He had left before she woke up the first time, the second time at his house they were in their fake temporary relationship and he had left her in bed to fix breakfast. The third time, she had woken up due to her nightmare and they had spent the remaining hours of the morning talking about her traumatic experience until she went into shock, the fourth time they had woken up late and had been in a haste to get her some change of clothes and get to the office early. So this was the first time they were having a normal morning conversation in bed like lovers. 

"Do you always think things through before doing them?" Lucy asked, amazed by how he seemed to always have a reason in mind for doing stuff.

"Yes, I have to. I don't like making mistakes I have to apologize for which I could easily have avoided. And I'm especially particular about my relationship with you since I promised not to make you regret being in a relationship with me," Tom said as he raised her hand to his lips, and she smiled.

"Thank you."

"So, tell me. What did you think about the cuffs last night?" Tom asked, changing the subject.

"What did I think?" Lucy asked, at a loss since she didn't understand what the question was. She had told him that she wasn't a fan.

"I already purchased the items before listening to your story yesterday about how you were tied up..." Tom started while watching her keenly. 

"Initially I bought the mouth ball so that you wouldn't have to feel embarrassed every time we make love... But on second thoughts now, I love hearing you moan. I'm just going to make this bedroom soundproof," Tom said, and Lucy raised a brow. 

"You are saying this on the assumption that we are going to only be using your bedroom," she said, meeting his gaze, and Tom blinked in surprise before laughing out.

"I wish I could get into your head and see just how wild your imaginations really are," Tom said as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead while she grinned at him.

"If you keep this up, you're going to make all the staff lose their jobs," Tom said, and then paused when something occurred to him. He was going to have to get someone to check around his home for cameras and bugs. Although he doubted that any of his staff would do something like that, but for Lucy's sake he had to be extra careful. 

"Is something wrong?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Nah. Just remembered something I needed to take care of," Tom said, not wanting to scare her by telling her what it was. 

"So as I was saying, I got the items before yesterday. And I was going to discard every one of them after listening to all you said," Tom said, and Lucy propped herself on her elbow to face him.

"So why didn't you?"

"I thought since he did it and caused you pain and humiliation, I could do it to bring you pleasure. I wanted to replace your painful memories with pleasurable ones. I just wanted to be sure that you didn't feel humiliated," Tom said making Lucy's heart flutter.

She remained quiet for a moment as she tried to swallow past the emotional lump in her throat, "If I wasn't already in love with you, I would fall in love with you right now," Lucy said softly.

"I fall in love with you every moment, so feel free to fall. I'll catch you," Tom promised with an easy smile. 

"So? Did you like the experience?" He asked once again not wanting to digress.

Lucy pursed her lips as she thought about it, "At first I wasn't comfortable with it, especially when the blindfold was in place and you weren't doing anything. But it surprisingly was a turn-on," Lucy confessed.

"I'm satisfied then," Tom said as he leaned forward and kissed her lips.

"Eww. We are yet to brush..." The rest of her words were cut off in a moan when Tom deepened the kiss and squeezed her ass softly.

Tom broke the kiss and pulled away, "I'm going to break through the defenses and walls surrounding your heart until you want me at least half as much as I want you," Tom said, making Lucy swallow.

Why did that sound hot? "Who says I don't want you as much as you want me?" Lucy asked, and Tom shook his head.

"Not yet. I don't think even you know how much I want you."

"And you came to that conclusion simply because I was unwilling to kiss you in the morning when we haven't brushed our teeth?" She asked dryly.

"Don't worry about how I arrived at that conclusion. You should worry about how I'm going to break through your defenses."

"Why do you say break through instead of break down?" Lucy asked curiously, knowing that he probably had a reason for his choice of words. 

"Because I don't need the walls down. I just need to get through it to you. The wall can remain up against others. Just not me," Tom said with a grin, and Lucy shook her head as she giggled. This man. 

They both turned to the door when a knock sounded, "Yeah?" Tom asked as he got off the bed, and Lucy averted her gaze from his morning erection.

"Your mother wants me to let you know that everyone has gathered at the dining for breakfast," Adolf informed Tom on Evelyn's instruction.

"Everyone? Including Bryan and Sonia?" Tom asked curiously.

Adolf cleared his throat, "They're not.."

"I suppose they're not part of everyone?" Tom asked as he held out his hands to pull Lucy out of bed. 

"Uhm, I... No. They..."

Lucy giggled as Adolf struggled to find the right words to express himself, "Don't be mean. We will be down shortly," Lucy called out to Adolf's relief.

"Thank you, ma'am," Adolf said as he hurried away.

"Let's dress up and join them. It'll be best we get there before Bryan and Sonia does," Tom said as he led her to the bathroom.

"So about the bet..."

"Oh, yeah. About the bet which you lost," Tom said with a mischievous grin as he pressed some toothpaste on Lucy's toothbrush and handed it to her before doing the same for himself as she started brushing her teeth.

"I don't want you putting on any panties..."

"Huh?" Lucy asked in surprise as she spat out the foam of toothpaste in her mouth before turning to look at him. 

"No panties on you today. I want to be able to touch you when I want to," Tom said as he went to stand behind her and kissed her nape before he started brushing his teeth while Lucy stared at him speechlessly.

Seeing how she was looking at him, Tom spat out the foam in his mouth, "I've never felt this way about anyone before. Perhaps pretending to be a bad boy to get you is beginning to have its effect on me or maybe I wasn't really a gentleman and you bring out the naughtiness in me. Somehow you make me want to do naughty things to you, and I can't even explain it," Tom said with a sigh, while Lucy just watched him without saying a word. 

It was either she was a weird freak that found pleasure in such immoral stuff, or Tom was messing with her mind and body, else how could she explain how her body was reacting to his words? This whole thing was just crazy, Lucy thought as she met his gaze in the mirror while they both brushed their teeth. 

"You don't have to do it if the thought of it makes you feel uncomfortable," Tom said after a while. 

"You won the bet. I will do it," Lucy said, curious to see how this was going to play out.
