Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

33.Duchess pt3

Y/n,a little excited,rushed to her sister that night when Tommy had left without saying anything or even meeting her

She opened the door to her room to see her mother already sitting there with her on the bed now looking at y/n who just barged in

Her mother looked excited and extremely happy

"Did you hear y/n?!"her mother said walking over to her happily and touching her shoulder.Y/n felt a little happy that her mother was happy

"Yes I-

"HE HAS AGREED TO MARRY YOUR SISTER!"her mother said

The smile dropped from her face.Her eyes reached to her sister who was shyly smiling and blushing.

Her heart started to break into a million pieces,not because Tommy agreed to marry her sister that was not a problem because she knew he didn't love her,but because her heart created False hope and that just broke her

"What?"she asked and her mother smiled and walked back to Asteria

"He's marrying my beautiful daughter.Oh how I'll decorate this whole town on that day,and that I'll pick the best dress for you"her mother said touching Asteria's cheek

Y/n felt tears prick in the corner of her eyes,why was she even feeling so sad?Of course there was nothing between them

"I'm-"she said with a pause both her mother and sister looking at her

"I'm so happy for you"she said with a pretended smile and went to sit by her sister

"I don't understand Tommy!Whats your problem why the fook did ya say yes?!"arthur shouted

"Cause I had to alright!Its for the business"tommy shouted back

"But why with her?Why couldn't you say you didn't want to marry the elder one but the-

"I'm going for a drink"he sighed getting up not wanting to listen to anything else.Arthur sighed in defeat and just lay back

The doors to his pub opened,it was a gloomy,stormy Wednesday afternoon so not many people were there

But someone else was who certainly caught his attention

On the bar stool,he saw a familiar looking woman in a suit,drinking and talking to the bartender

Tommy quietly approached her and leaned on the bar counter taking out a cigarette

"What are you doing ere?"he asked,she turned around,her brown hair turning with her and she locked eyes with him

"Can't a lady drink in a bar?"she got off the stool and stood beside him.Tommy moved his eyes along with her movements,for a second there he was regretting his decision

"She can.But why here?"

"I had some work.Father asked me to give you some papers about the racetracks,there are some other property dealers in Cambridge who are behind my father to have the racetracks so he asked me to get a sign here so that it's officially yours"she opened the papers and took out a pen handing him them in his hands

He took the pen,there fingers brushing together like an electric circuit just bolted there bodies

He signed on it and handed it to her.She took it and put it in her briefcase

"My work here is done"she said and gave him a nod to walk past him but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him

Startled by the sudden action she accidentally put her hand on his chest,right above his heart.They both stared at each other for what felt like eternity but was nothing but just a minute

"Stay a bit longer"because he had her in his hold in front of everyone,she hesitated but said yes

"So you're marry my sister?"she took a sip of her whiskey,Tommy felt like that sentence,coming from her,was a punch in his gut

"Yes"is all he could say

"Did he offer you a position in the parliament?Mp?"

"He did"Tommy gulped in the regret and it was just getting worse by her words

"Congratulations then Mr Shelby,a man who has it all and actually has it all"she raised her glass with a smile and gulped all her whiskey

"I'll take my leave"she said and got up taking her briefcase along.Tommy was sitting there,being the most uneasy and uncomfortable he has ever been in life

Y/n got out of the pub feeling all kids of emotions hit her.She was suddenly pulled by a force to an alleyway

"Do you think this is easy for me?"tommy hissed slamming her against the brick wall,holding her wrist tightly with one hand and her waist with the other

"Tommy let me-

"It's not fucking easy alright.Ever since I saw you I fucking want you,don't you see what it's fucking doing to me?"he whispered In a threatening tone,dangerously close to her face

"Tommy let me go"she said in a stern voice only making him tighten his grip

"The things I could do to you y/n will make you scream and moan right here"he whispered,his eyes getting dark with lust and anger all together.His words making shivers run down her spine

"But you said yes didn't you.So it doesn't matter tommy,my sister was happy and this has to be the way it is"she said her voice sounding weaker than usual

"I don't fucking care about how things should be I never cared about that in my life"he said

"And I don't fucking care now"

And with those words,he slammed his lips on hers.With all the emotions inside her,she did nothing to protest it and instead kissed him back.

There was so much hunger in the kiss,like the earth was colliding together.She brought her hand up to cup his cheek only making him hold her hand too.

He brought his hand to her waist and closed the gap in between,it there even was one.He explored every inch of her at that moment.It made stars cover his mind

He knew this would not be easy,he knew that she was going to be the death of him even when she wasn't the one marrying him

She was all he wanted at that time
