Chapter Forty One

Tom couldn't help but replay the images in his head of Evie standing in front of him in her bikini. He has seen many different women unclothed before but no girl has ever looked this beautiful in his eyes. Just the thought of the way her waist was curving inwards contrasting her hips was driving him crazy. He couldn't clear his mind as they were both cleaning up the table. Evie noticed that Tom was not really mentally with her but she decided not to question it just yet. The day went really well so far. Maybe he was just exhausted.

She only noticed how heated his dazed eyes looked at her as she was struggling to reach the top shelf and turned towards him to ask for assistance. His stare made her cheeks heat up and she felt really nervous around him all of a sudden. It wasn't that she was scared, she was just not used to having this much attention on her appearance. Did he like what he saw?

Tom didn't even try to hide that he was full on checking her out. He really just couldn't help it tonight. "Could you put that up there for me?", she asked shyly, handing him the cup she was holding. It was only then that he tore his eyes off of her, closing them for a second to try and calm himself down. "Thank you!", she praised now a little bolder because he wasn't staring at her anymore. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his torso. Tom was hotter than usual. In a literal and metaphorical way.

"Are you okay? You feel very warm?", she asked, worried he caught something. "Yeah I'm fine, don't worry.", he denied turning around to hug her back. "Let's sit down, okay?", she suggested still not fully convinced.

Tom went to lay down on the sofa, propping his head up, while Evie laid down, cuddling into his chest. "I really like your brothers.", she admitted playing with his fingers. "I bet they like you too. You are so amazing.", Tom replied, making a big smile appear on her face. "Stop making me blush!", she teased grinning up at him. She noticed that his stare was way less heated now, joy taking over his facial expressions and she was a little relieved but also a little disappointed.

She got up to lean on her elbows as she was looking down on his pretty face. Slowly she started to trace the skin above his eyebrows with her index finger. "What's on your mind?", she asked, her voice was just above a whisper. Tom, who just managed to calm down, was back to feeling hazy. He tried to calm himself by closing his eyes but her delicate touch didn't help his situation at all. "Do you want me to be honest?", he asked, surprising her with his suddenly raspy voice. Evie was so full of anticipation all she could do was nod. "I can't stop thinking about the way you looked in your bikini. I mean your body. And with your hair all wet.", he admitted tightening his grip around her. Evie's eyes widened at his response. She couldn't help but let out a small gasp, his words, his voice and touches made her feel hot. Their faces were only inches apart. Both of their chests were touching whenever they took in a shaky breath. The tension between them was unbearable.

Evie couldn't decide whether she wanted to hide her face in his chest in embarrassment or kiss the living hell out of him for saying such nice things about her. Tom made that decision for her by putting his large hand onto the back of her neck to gently pull her towards him. Evie was on top but Tom was taking all the control.

Their lips were moving in sync but Tom wanted more. He allowed his fingertips to travel up her waist just the tiniest bit making Evie gasp. He used that moment to gently bite her bottom lip before exploring her mouth with his tongue. They have French kissed before but Evie still wasn't used to how good Tom could make her feel. So good in fact that she had to pull away for a second to calm down her beating heart for a second. Her letting out a breathy: "Tommyy", didn't help Tom's arousal.

He turned them around so that he was hovering over her, careful not to put too much of his weight onto her fragile form. Evie liked this a lot. Because now she could let her fingers travel down his neck over his chest to his abs. She really loved the way his body felt under her touch. It was so firm and masculine due to his abs but his skin was still soft. This time Tom had a hard time stopping a moan from escaping his lips. He reconnected their lips and let her fingers continue their path. As he left her lips to kiss down her jaw and neck, Evie tightened her grip and dug her fingers into his back involuntarily. This, she might even love more than French kissing.

Tom loved the new feeling of her holding on to him as he was kissing her so much, he even let a moan slip out. Evie's favorite sound. The sound sent tingles down her tummy making her gasp at the sensation. "We should slow down.", Tom whispered as she connected her lips to his neck, nowhere ready to stop yet. She was feeling really desperate to be close to him and feel his touches and she was not ready to stop. "Tommy no!", she whined as Tom tried to get off of her. She tightened her grip on his back and sucked a bit harder on his neck, leaving a hickey, making it harder for Tom to stop.

"Baby I can't.", he tried but she didn't listen. He then pressed his now very obvious hard on down on her to indicate why they should stop now. But this time Evie didn't care at all. In fact, feeling him against her just increased the new sensation she was feeling. She involuntarily arched her back and lifted her hips to feel it again. This time not suppressing the moans. "Please. Feels so good.", she said between moans as she continued to grind her hips against his. Tom couldn't help but mimic her small movements so that she'd feel even better. He was so in awe of her beauty, he really wanted to continue making her look so dazed. Seeing her like this and hearing her moan his name was sending him over the edge by the second. As he picked up the rhythm a little bit she completely stopped moving her hips, letting him do all the work as she was overwhelmed by the pleasure he was causing her. She arched her back so much their chests met in the air. All she felt was him. She was surrounded by his warmth, his scent-just him. And it was causing her immense pleasure like she has never experienced before. "Tommy..I..", she started not really knowing what was happening. "I know baby.", he whispered. Suddenly she felt an overwhelming feeling wash over her body, taking full control of her. She couldn't think of, see or feel anything else but Tom. She moaned out his name one last time as she was pulling on his curls.

Tom put a little more of his weight down on her, trapping her between his heated body and the couch, letting her calm down. Her eyes were still closed and she was holding on to him for dear life. She has never looked more beautiful in his eyes than right now. He gently put a loose strand of her hair out of her face and traced her swollen lips with his fingers. "You are so pretty.", he whispered as she slowly reopened her eyes to meet his warm ones. Evie's heart was filled with so much love for this boy she didn't know what to do with herself. All she did was stare. Still unsure of what exactly happened and how he managed to make her feel so good. "Did...uhm...did you feel that too?", she asked innocently blushing slightly. "Did you feel really good?", he asked to check, making her nod furiously. "Then yes I did.", he smiled warmly feeling so much love for the girl under him. Just seconds ago she was the sexiest person he's ever seen and now she was back to being the sweetest. She really is the most amazing girl he has ever met. He really was head over heels for her.

"I love you."

Evie stared at him with wide eyes. Tom has been feeling it for a while now but to be honest, he was scared. Scared because he has never felt like this towards anybody before and he wanted to be completely sure of his feelings before telling her. But for the last couple of days the feeling has been increasing everytime he saw her and now felt like the right time to tell her. Finally saying it made a warm feeling spread in his chest. It felt right. He really did love her.

"You do?", she asked still completely shocked. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. She couldn't even comprehend how happy these three words made her feel. She has been feeling terribly alone for most of her life and now there was this amazing boy, who loved her? HER?

"I love you.", she said looking him in the eyes to show how sincere she was. "You are my home.", she whispered pulling him closer again. "Thank you so much.", he said closing his eyes. "Having you in it turned my whole life around. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.", he admitted. Maybe Harrison was right-maybe Tom is sappy now. But he didn't care because it was Evie. He trusted her with his life and if only she felt loved and appreciated he'd be sappy all day.
