I Love You Tom Hiddleston

The door had hardly closed when Kate knew she'd made the biggest mistake of her adult life. She should have gone home with him. That night. Even if it was their last for months, it would have been enough. Now, she had made a foolish choice that could quite possibly cost her everything.

Tom had said he would wait, but she couldn't ask him to do that.  It just wasn't fair. Bad enough, he would be in a foreign country, but there would also be ample time for him to think about their situation and come to exactly the conclusion she dreaded.

She looked at her watch - it was barely 4.30pm.  She was tired, so very tired, but this was much more important.  She raced upstairs and stripping off as she went, took a quick shower. The warm water and the resolution to act made her feel alive again and ready for what was to come.

She dressed and did her hair, all the while trying to keep the barrel of snakes in her stomach quiet.  She only hoped she wasn't too late.

Jumping into a taxi, she headed over to Tom's house, her heartbeat pounding in her ears.

She stood outside his door. What the hell was she doing? Before she could think of running, the door opened, and he was there. Semi naked, a towel round his hips and another round his neck as he rubbed his hair dry.

"Oh! Kate, it's you. Hi again!" He smiled and looked down at her." Sorry - wasn't expecting your delightful company!" He stepped back and indicated she should come in

"Come on through. Im just out the shower, as you can see. What can I do for you, darling?"

"I errr, I just..." Suddenly, no words would form. Seeing him undressed like that made her brain melt into a white hot pool of desire.

"Whats wrong, little kitten, " he turned and walked up to her, his index finger tipping her chin up. " Cat, got your tongue?"
"No," she croaked, aware his towel was revealing almost everything his body was doing.

"That's good. Very good. Because it's mine, and I want it - right now." he said softly, bending to kiss her. He'd wanted to do that for hours. So many frustrating hours....

They had made love, finally consummating the bond that had grown and developed. Finally, they'd sealed their unspoken commitment to each other. It had, if she was truly honest, fleetingly hurt to begin with, but his care and love soon made that a distant memory.

Now, as she lay in the bath with him, his hands gently washing her, his lips caressing the back of her neck, she felt a sense of peace and love she had never felt before. Ever. 

"Tom?" She leaned back against his chest, feeling him move his arms to around her waist and his chin on her shoulder.

"Yes, Princess?" He said softly, kissing her shoulder.

"Tom, can - can I stay? Tonight? Can I stay here. I promise to go as soon as you need me to but I can't let you go away without one last night." She tried not to beg. She tried to be a grownup, but she failed. "Please?"

"Oh Katie, my lovely , precious sweet Katie." He showered her with kisses. "You can stay as long as you like. Even if I'm not here, it makes no odds. The thought of you, waiting here for me is the single most delicious thought I've ever had."

Kate smiled and sighed gently. "Tom?"

"Yes, darling?"

"Take me to back to bed, my love?"

"Yes, darling."

They didn't sleep much after that. When they were finally spent, in the pale but very early morning, she looked over at him. He smiled and reached out, drawing her close.

"Sleep now, my darling. We can have breakfast and plan how we're going to get you to America with me." He kissed her forehead and tucked her head against his chest.  She was too sleepy and too caught up in his afterglow for it to really register at first. It wasn't until a couple of minutes later she realised what he'd said.

By then, he was snoring gently.  A huge smile wrapped itself around her face.  She closed her eyes and soon joined him. She would ask him more when they woke.
