Tom is fishing

*Tom*
We are done playing and I am standing with my arms around Meri, feeling all nervous. "I was thinking, both me and Luca had too much to drink to be driving. I could call you a cab ...".
"You don't have to Tom, we can take the tube". She cuts in, making me even more nervous.
"No". It comes out much more demanding than I meant it to. "I mean I don't like the idea of two women alone in the tube this late".
She giggles, and places a hand on my chest. "Tom no need to worry, I had self defense classes and Lumi has been doing kickboxing for many years. We can handle ourselves".
"It's just ... damn what I actually wanted to ask". I swallow. "Maybe you would like to stay ? I have a second guest-room".
"Oh so me and Lumi can sleep there ?" She smiles up at me. "Sounds like a good idea".
I sigh. "Yeah, that is what I meant". I feel like a teenager here.
"It is ? And here I thought you were desperately fishing for me to ... sleep in you bed". She giggles and wink at me.
I groan. "You just enjoy torturing me right ? That's what it is ... but yeah, I thought that maybe you could ... share my bed ... just sleeping I mean ... snuggle a bit".
"I think we might be ready for that, I'll just go talk to Lumi if she is okay with it". She leans in to kiss my cheek, then she whispers in my ear. "I can't wait to snuggle with my fluffy bear".
This time the groan is an entirely different kind. And I shudder slightly. What she does to me when she whispers in my ear. "Baby don't tease me, you know what it does to me".
"Yeah, I know exactly what it does to you". She grin and wink at me again, before leaving to talk to her sister.
I look after her, sighing deeply. I do not expect her to l.. Well give in tonight, but damn I am waiting impatiently by now. I am willing to wait as long as it takes, but I hope it won't be too long.
"Oh she has you wound so tight around her little finger". Luca chuckles. "You look almost in pain Tom ... let me guess you are so not getting any".
Rolling my eyes I turn towards him. "It's none of your business, but we are taking it slow, getting to know each other".
"Hmm and just how sore is your poor wrist ?" He laughs this time. "But it's a bold and smart move from her side. You sir are way too used to getting everything served straight up, that is probably the reason you lose interest just as fast".
"Really ? Are you saying that I only date women for s*x ? Is that how you see me ?" I feel rather hurt to be honest. I see myself as a decent guy.
Luca shakes his head. "No, that isn't what I am saying Tom. I know you are a good guy. I just think that ... actually I am not sure what the reason is, but I don't think it's something you plan. Maybe some part of you lose some respect when they just give it up straight away, part of you might be feeling that the woman you are going to marry should be ... well more of a lady".
"I never thought about it. I mean I have never broken up with anyone because I felt they weren't enough of a lady or because we slept together on the first date". I bite my lip. Could he be right ? "It just seems like ... it kind of burns out around there and they start becoming demanding".
"Well about 3 months if usually were people finds out of it is something serious or just a fling". He shrugs. "My advice, hold on to this one Tom ... and with that, I will go to bed".
*Meri*
"How do I look ?" I ask Tom, twirling in front of him. I am wearing on of his t-shirts and my panties.
He props himself up on his elbow, making the duvet slide down around his waist, exposing his bare chest. "You look absolutely sexy darling".
Talking about sexy, he looks absolutely delicious in just his boxers. "Thank you … you don't look bad either".
"Come here and snuggle me then". He claps on the bed beside him and I jump up on the bed, giggling.
I can't help but reaching out and let my fingers run over his abs. Damn he could have been carved in marble. My man is legit even hotter without his clothes on. "This is a really nice bed".
"Hmm and right now there is something really nice in it". He grabs me and pulls me down almost on top of him, kissing me.
Honestly it is tempting to ... Well jump directly to fourth base. The feeling of his warm hard body against mine is so sexy that my brain is playing against me, whispering 'come on, let him, we both know you want to'.
I know it's probably not fair at all, but I still has this nagging feeling in the back of my mind, telling me that I am nothing but the flavour of the month to him and as soon as he gets what he wants the novelty will wear off.
Most women would probably find me utterly insane, but I am just not ready to give myself completely to him. To risk ruining what we have by taking it to a new level.
Tom can probably feel my slight hesitation, because he slows down, kissing me softly. Then he rolls on his side, pulling me into his embrace. My backside pressed into his warm, hard body. This I could get used to.
"Sleep well darling". He kisses my shoulder, snuggling a little closer.
I place my hand on top of his, lacing our fingers together. "Sleep well Tom, and thanks for being so patient with me".
"Anything for you babe". He whispers softly, before reaching out to turn of the light.
