The Shape (Book 1)

Waking up slowly, I looked around the room.This isn't my room. I sat up slowly to see Tom getting dressed in front of me.I couldn't pull my eyes away from his gorgeous abs."Enjoying the view Madeleine?" Tom teased.

"Sorry," I looked down at the clothes I was wearing. I wasn't in my dress anymore."Am I wearing your clothes?" I asked Tom."Yes, but don't worry I didn't see you naked," Tom reassured.

"That wasn't the part I was worried about," I replied."You think I'd have sex with a drunk woman? No, I'm not like that," Tom reassured again.

"I've only had sex with one woman in my lifetime in the mafia," Tom tells me."Really? I thought women would be crawling on their knees to have sex with you," Tom chuckled.

"No, not like that at all, I had fun with you last night at the party," Tom says walking towards me."Tom.." I breathed out."Yeah?"

Here goes nothing.

"I like you," I blurted out."Like a lot," I added."And I had just had to get that out now before I went on any further because it hurts knowing I can't kiss or hold you in my arms," I muttered.

Tom raised an eyebrow."I had no idea you felt like that about me Madeleine," I shrugged."I'm not good at hiding feelings," I replied.

Tom sat down next to me.I flinched at the contact."I'm sorry if this is unexpected. I just needed you to know." I say voice trembling.Tom reached out and took my hand.

"Madeleine, I'm really glad you told me. Because... I feel the same way. I've liked you for a long time too." Tom confessed.I heard him chuckle after saying that.

My eyes light up with relief and joy. I squeezed his hand, my smile growing. "Really?" I breathed out.I was shaking.Tom nodded. "Really. I was just too nervous to say anything."

"You? Nervous? You always seemed so confident about everything," We share a laugh, the tension melting away. Tom gently pulled me closer.

"Even some mafia men get nervous," Tom says."So does this mean we're together?" I asked reassuringly."Yes, I suppose it does," Tom replied.I smiled widely.

"Good, I'm glad," I replied, exhaling a ragged breath.My heart raced as Tom leans in slightly, my eyes searching his for any sign of hesitation.My breath catches, but I don't pull away. Instead, I moved a little closer, my eyes fluttering shut.

"Madeleine..." Tom whispered against my lips.With that, Tom closed the gap between us, our lips meeting in a tender, hesitant kiss. The world seemed to melt away as we lost ourselves in the moment, the kiss growing more confident and deep as we realized how much we meant to each other.

After a few moments, we slowly pull back, both a little breathless. Tom rests his forehead against mine, smiling softly."That was... amazing." Tom breathed out.

My face had turned crimson."Yeah, it really was." I said. We shared another sweet smile before leaning in for another kiss, feeling closer than ever before.He was now mine, not Taylor's but mine.My mafia man.
