Satisfy Your Taste

Pairing: Alfie Solomons x You(female reader)

Summary: Alfie discovers that his new business partner is pretty hot. He’ll just have to seduce you. 

Warning: Ostentatious, unapologetic kissing. Things should get spicier in the following chapters. 

Tommy was running late. He was supposed to be at the club to discuss a deal with Alfie Salomons but you were probably going to have to stall for time. The moment the clock chimed, in walked Salomons with his crew.

You cussed under your breath, you inhaled deeply to calm yourself before you turned to the men that entered, “Gentlemen!” you exclaimed with a wide smile. “Welcome! My name is Y/N. If you would…”

Alfie cut your little speech short, “Where is Shelby?”

Straight to the point, just as you expected, but you had to distract the men until Tommy arrived, “Please, make yourselves comfortable. What would you like to drink? It’s all on the house, of course.”

Alfie smiled mischievously. You hoped that he wasn’t catching on to what you were doing but the moment his men heard the word ‘drink’ they all started chatting amongst themselves excitedly but none of them dared to move before they had explicit permission from their leader.

Alfie sensed the anticipation around him, he gave himself a moment to contemplate, before he said “Go on you lot, go get your drinks.”

The men cheered and scrambled past each other to the bar.

Alfie remained firm on the spot, sizing you up, and you sensed that he was waiting for you to make the next move.

With a bright smile you took him by the arm and walked with him, “We have a private area where we can talk about business. We just had leather chairs put in and a chaise longue, they’re all very comfortable...”

He arched his eyebrow, “A private area, you say… Comfortable for what?” he paused, wanting you to continue.

Was he just teasing you or was his mind on something more notorious? You lightly squeezed his arm and attempted to change the subject, “Let me be honest with you Mr Solomons. Tommy will never admit it but by the way he talks about you, I feel like he harbors a deep respect for you and he sees you not only as a business partner but a close friend and men of your station don’t have many opportunities to make real friends. Don’t you agree?”

Solomons smirked “Friends, you say…”. His gaze was intense but for a moment it seemed to soften. He parted his lips like he was about to say something more but the doors swung open and Tommy entered the room with his brothers.

You let go of Solomons arm and gave Tommy a Where were YOU!? Sort of look.

Tommy’s face remained stoic as usual as he extended his hand towards Alfie.

You let out a long exhale while the men greeted each other. Tommy opened a stained glass door, and you all entered the private area that you so highly recommended.

-

You sat on the chaise longue next to Tommy, across from Alfie who made himself comfortable in an armchair.

Alfie turned to you first, “So, Miss y/n. What is your…”

Tommy cut in before Solomons could finish his question “She’s my partner.”

Alfie frowned, “When you say ‘partner’...what exactly do you mean?”

Tommy leaned forward, “I mean, she helps me manage the business and she’s the one in charge of the club when I’m not around.”

Alfie turned to you again, “Is that right, Miss Y/N?”

You nodded, “That is correct.” you knew that you should have said something more but the man was making you nervous and you were afraid that if you said anything more you would just start to mumble. It was better to let Tommy talk while you steadied your breathing and became more accustomed to the man’s presence. Why was your heart beating so fast? This man really had a unique kind of charisma about him, even though he made you nervous, you couldn’t get enough of him.  

Tommy continued the business proposal he had prepared as he set several documents on the table ”….Supply us with alcohol and in exchange we’re willing to store any shipments that you find troublesome to store due to legal restrictions. We have several strong rooms located under the club.” Tommy stood up and buttoned his vest, “Follow me, please and we’ll happily show you the location.”

Alfie put his hat on, “Let’s go then,” he said as he stood up.

You stood up too and walked behind Tommy.

Tommy opened the door but before he could take another step, Alfie grabbed his arm.

“Ladies first,” Alfie gave you a nod and pushed Tommy aside to make room for you.

You smiled politely before you passed the two men. You tried to appear unfazed as you felt a heavy gaze upon your silhouette when you walked through the door.

-

After the tour of the strong rooms, you went back to the bar. Alfie gestured to one of his men to come over. He took out a dark bottle out of a sack that the man was carrying. “Perhaps you’d like to sample the product Miss Y/N.  Try this and tell me what you think.” He poured the brown liquid into a glass.

You took a sip and tried your best not to gag. Somehow you managed to swallow the liquid, “I mean no disrespect Mr Solomons…”

Solomons put his hand up “Alfie. Please. Call me Alfie.”

You hesitated, trying to think of any nice by honest words to describe the brown sludge swirling in your glass,  “Alfie. I mean no disrespect but this isn’t the best tasting whisky. I’m afraid it’s not my favorite. Then again, I’m no expert when it comes to whiskey.”

Alfie chuckled, “I appreciate your honesty Miss y/n. Next time, I’ll make sure to bring something that is more to your taste.” He then turned to Tommy, “Mister Shelby, I think we have a deal.”

The two men spit into their palms and shook hands.

You tried to do the same but before you could bring your hand to your lips, Alfie caught your hand,  flipped it and kissed it, maintaining eye contact the entire time. When he finally let go he said “Pleasure doing business with you Miss Y/N.”

Even though you tried to hide it, it was clear to see that your cheeks had turned a deeper colour before you mumbled, “The pleasure is all mine.”

-

After everyone left, you and Tommy went through the documents to check if everything was in order.

“What was that?” Tommy said with amusement in his voice as he flipped through the papers.

“What was what?” you asked, genuinely not knowing what he meant. “I thought everything went quite smoothly, despite the fact that YOU were late to the meeting.”

Tommy shook his head in disbelief. “Well, you sure know how to keep a man distracted.”

You groaned, “Speak plainly, please. What are you insinuating exactly?”

Tommy chuckled before he took a sip of his whiskey “Alfie couldn’t keep his eyes off you. I kind of regret not asking him for something more, he’d probably agree to anything, given how preoccupied he was.”

You put the papers down and you glared at Tommy, “What’s wrong with you today? At first you were short with the man, not letting him ask me anything and then butting in when I tried to say something and now you’re making up some wild assumptions.”

“Assumptions? Everything seemed pretty clear to me. I was short with the man because I thought he was making you uncomfortable but you cozied up to him real quick. ‘With all due respect Mr Solomon’, ‘It’s my pleasure Mr Salomon’, ‘Shall I open my pretty little…’ ” Tommy mocked.

You stopped him from finishing that sentence, “Shut up, Tommy! You’re delusional! You can finish all this damn paperwork yourself!” You shot back before you stormed off to the bar.

-

Tommy left a few hours later. When he tried to wave to you, you pretended to be very preoccupied with cleaning a glass. He just laughed to himself and left.

When you were finished polishing the glasses, you stepped into the now empty kitchen. You thought that you finally had a moment to yourself when you heard a knock on the back door.

You thought that it was a late delivery but to your surprise, it was your new business partner, “Mr Solo…Alfie. Is everything alright?” you looked him over, he looked a bit disheveled.

Alfie let out a grunt and squeezed his arm, a red stain was forming on his sleeve. “May I come in?”

You quickly ushered him into the kitchen and told him to sit on the bench. You got a first aid kit out of a cupboard. You’ve patched up every one of the Shelby’s many times on that same bench, so you already knew what to do. You rolled up Alfie’s sleeve and got to work.

Alfie put his hat on the bench, “Thank you. It’s just a small cut. Nothing really. It’s just that…” he paused, “I was upset… There is something that has been weighing on my mind. I just cant’s seem to…”

“All done.” You said smugly putting the first aid kit to the side.

“Aren’t you quick.” Alfie said as he examined his bandaged arm.

“I’m guessing that your arm wasn’t the only reason you came here tonight. You said something was weighing on your mind? You were upset?” you patted yourself on the back for being more bold in Alfie’s presence but that quickly went out the window.

Alfie suddenly placed two fingers on your cheek and made you look at him as he leaned in, “Perhaps a kiss, to make me feel better then?” He said with a toothy smile.

The close proximity made adrenaline shoot through your veins, so you leaned back a little to give yourself some space, “I’ll tell you what. You tell me what’s bothering you and I’ll give you a kiss.” You couldn’t believe that you actually said that. What were you thinking? Why did you agree to that so easily?

Alfie’s stared into your eyes for a long time before he spoke, “I’m not a man that likes to share…” he paused.

You weren’t sure if that was the end of his sentence but the silence was driving you crazy, “You don’t like to share?” you asked.

Alfie sighed, “I don’t like to share how I feel…” he continued, “I find you distracting and I don’t know what to do about it.”

Another long pause that you could not take, “Is that it?”

He leaned forward, “That’s it. Now you promised me something…” he said in a hushed tone as he cocked his head to the side.

Was he actually expecting you to kiss him or was this some kind of test? You couldn’t tell so you tried to persuade him to say something more, “I’m not sure I’m satisfied with that answer…”

“Well… I hope you find this more satisfying.” Before you could react, Alfie griped your chin between his two fingers and pressed his lips against yours. The kiss was surprisingly gentle, he grazed your cheek with his thumb as he deepened the kiss, you did not expect such a man to be so tender. When he slipped his hand under your dress and squeezed your thigh causing you to open your mouth in surprise, he seized that opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth. The feeling of his tongue on yours was making your head spin, you grabbed onto his shirt to bring him closer to you, he smelled of whisky, smoke and something you couldn’t put your finger on. Through the kiss, you could feel a deep yearning for something more within that man, as you continued to kiss, his movements became more desperate as his hands explored your body, squeezing and pulling until in spite of yourself, you moaned against his mouth. But before you completely lost yourself and forgot the entire world around you existed he suddenly stopped.

He pulled away reluctantly, his mouth still hovering an inch from yours, “Forgive me… “ he breathed “I’m being too forward.”

You had to concentrate hard in order to understand the words coming out of his mouth after a kiss like that.  “It’s quite alright…” you said between breaths.

He stood up abruptly, “I should go…” but he stood there unmoving, his eyes darting all over the place, as if he was fighting himself inside his head. “Unless…you’d like to show me a more private place, you said something about a chaise longue?”

You regained at least some of your wit before you answered, “What happened to being too forward?” you smiled cheekily.

Alfie nodded and picked up his hat, “Right. In that case…” he tipped his hat to you “Good day Miss Y/N. I’ll show myself out.” then he hurriedly hobbled out the door.

You bit your lip. If Alfie’s plan was to mess with your head, then he thoroughly succeeded.

 Author’s note:  Tommy isn’t going to be very pleased when he hears about this.

A visitor

Yoooo, it was meant to happen XD....na I just had this idea, and it wouldn’t leave me, so yeah, I hope it’s alright...I think there’ll be more chapters coming, until then, a happy day, a good week and a funny Halloween ;)

Oh and please! Tell me of all the mistakes I made, my English isn’t that good....soooo, besides that, I have no Idea how to write cockney English, so this is my very poor try to imitate Tom Hardy’s brilliant talking XD.

Now two words, that aren’t Enlish, more yiddish.

Mistvieh: word for animal, which is implying, that this animal is ....like difficult to keep???? There’s no fucking translation in the dictionary, it means bloody animal.

Schlamassel: Disaster

Have fun :)

_________________________

He hadn’t expected Tommy. Not right now. Not...here.

"Im going to Margain field. Maybe I see you."

This tired face of a done man had looked up.

"Maybe....maybe I will come."

 And there he was. He looked like a dead horse, Alfie once saw in France. Its eyes pitchblack, staring into absolutely nothing. It had lay on the side, its feet stuck in the barbwire.  There had been blood fucking everywhere. Though there was no blood now, Tommy didn't look better than the fucking horse.

It somehow worried Alfie.

His hands wandered through his beard.

"What the actual fucking fuck are you doing here, mate?"

Tommy took out a cigarette, his eyes looking left, right, then his eyes came back to Alfie and well, allright, Alfie hat to admit, this man truly was a sight. Damn these cheekbones and those blue eyes.

"Well, you said you were here, so I came to visit."

Alfie rolled with his eyes.

"Tommy, sweetie, if you wanna kill me, just fucking do it, but not here, in my house, it’s too nice, you know the floor just been made and my brain would completely fucking destroy the whole picture and-"

"They've killed Arthur."

"What?"

Tommy took another deep, lungdestroying drag of these awful cigarettes. Seriously this man was addictive to all the things, that killed sooner than later. Alfie always suspected Tommy somewhat suicidal, he thought it’s the business with all this death, pain and shit that comes with it.

Tommy threw the rest of this fucking smelling smogshitter into the mud. Blue eyes pierced him down.

"Can I come in?"

What was Alfie supposed to say?

So he mumbled something into his beard and by God the Almighty this was not gonna end well, he felt it in his blood.

It’s strange to have Thomas fucking Shelby in ones owned home. Alfie had the feeling that this man, these cheekbones, this coat, everything, that this man belonged somewhere absolutely beautiful. He reminded Alfie of a prince, from the fairytales, who got lost and found himself suddenly in a very dirty, fucking shithole, where he couldnt get out of. Yeah, alright, Tommy had the face of a fucking prince, all this royal blood and so on. He didn't belong here. The house was nice but it was small, it wasn’t made for these eyes, this coat, these cheekbones.

"Alfie stop thinking, it scares actually the living shit out of me."

Alfie blinked. They were already in the kitchen and Tommy was, Jesus, his mother and all his siblings too, Tommy had a cigarette again between his lips. Alfie would never admit it, but he would like to be these cigarettes sometimes, like now, yeah would be a good time to be a cigarette and-

"I'm sorry about A-"

Tommy just made a quick little shake with his hand and it was surprisingly enough for Alfie to get the message. Shut up, Alfie, please, for the love of God just stop talking. He had to smile. His sister had been the same, when he was younger he had rambled over the stupidest things. Back then her piercing look had been enough to shut him up for good.

She had died of Tuberculosis.

He was going to die of cancer in his lung. He probably was going to die like his sister. Great thing that, innit?

When Tommy spoke again, his voice was small, low, barely a whisper. Yet, Alfie had this sudden feeling of canonballs raining down on him.

"Why did you make a deal with Changretta?"

And when Tommy looked at him, it somehow moved something inside Alfie, which he thought had died during the war, at least when his mama had died.

Regret.

Alfie sat down, next to this smoking pimp. His right hand took Tommys, held it tight. His thumb made small circles all on Tommys scarred rough hand.

He could say something. But why the fuck should he do that now? He didn't say shit when his mama had died, besides the Kaddish. The same with his sister. When he had watched Schmuel, Moshe, Aaron...when they had died of this fucking gas attack and he as the youngest got the mask, he had watched. Just watching them die.

Sometimes you shouldn't say something. It won't bring someone back from the dead, or help them. Actually talking hurt much, much more than saying absolutely fucking nothing.

On Tommy’s tenth cigarette, Alfie felt his eyes slowly shut down. He hadn't let go of Tommy’s hand. He didn't know why. Did it matter?

A shuddering breath on Tommy's side woke him up a little.

"Is there a dog somewhere?"

"What?"

Blue eyes glistened softly in the dark.

"Is there a dog Alfie Salomon. In.This.House. A. Dog. An animal that does fucking everything you ask it for?"

"Yeah, yeah...there is. He's called Cyril and he's a fucking nice Mistvieh, so I would suggest, you play nice with him."

"I hope you don't snore as loud as this animal does."

"You gonna stay?"

There was this sound of a tongue twitching making a high pitch noise and yeah, again it reminded him of his sister.

So he fell to sleep.

He didn't dream. Dreaming wasn't his thing, it's more of a remembering thing. This night he remembered his family and it was a good thing, it was nice to see them all. He told them about his upcoming death and they nodded, smiled and waved at him. Death probably ain't that bad, ey?

"Alfie? Jesus fucking Christ, Alfie, are you there?"

His lungs shuddered, his whole body trembled.

Blue eyes, like the fucking sea, like the south France sea, you know the one, the one with this blue you couldn't forget, damnit, this man shouldn't exist, Alfie wanted to shatter it, this beauty, but he was too weak for that. Fucking cancer.

"Oy mate, I'm fine, I'm fine, all good and bravo. No schlamassel here, now fuck off, I know that having a Shelby nearby ain't never no good."

"You didn't breath anymore."

"That so?"

"Alfie?" Tommy's voice was soft. Gentle. God, he hated it.

"What?"

Their eyes fixed on each other.

"Stay low, I'm gonna walk the dog. You stay in that bed."

And for the first time in his life, Alfie did what he was said to. He didn't say anything, just stayed low and tried to breath.

It wasn't that he was religious. God had left him in the war. But...there was something in him, that didn't know exactly, if God existed or not, so killing himself hadn't been an option, it was just...no, you don't do that. No one speaks the Kaddish for you, if you kill yourself and Ollie would have a Trauma for the rest of his Jewish life. So the deal with Changretta wasn't out of spite, or something, it was more this idea, that Tommy would finally fucking do it. Fucking kill him.

But now he walked the dog and told Alfie to stay in bed. He...oh God...not again, he turned to the side and there it was. It was a difficult thing to describe. Suddenly everything swirled, around you, but worse, in you and you had this urge to throw up everything, everything in your whole body, organs, bones, fucking everything on the floor. And he was weak, fucking weak, his hand lying there, because he was too weak to move it. Come on, come on, he can't just throw up on his own bed?

How the flying fuck had he managed to get to bed?

And then a slap, it's a growing slap, it started in the middle and then grew, grew into a piercing sharp knife that crawled through his chest. And it hurt, by God, it hurt so goddamn much. And he couldn't help it, but he panicked, because he couldn't breathe and he wanted to throw up, wanted to die, wanted to die, wanted to die...

His sister had fought against this sickness in her for good 6 fucking months. 6 months of spasms, of pain, of coughing blood, of tumbling, falling down the steps and her babies had to watch and it had been a fucking disaster.

If he hadn't been a fucking coward back then, he would have shot her. He knew God would have forgiven him for that. He had to.

She had died during Hannukah, the only good thing of being Jewish, you could eat and just have a good time. But now, he hated it. He hated Hannukah, the candles, the food, everything. He-

"Alfie-"

The voice of a man can be frightening. He knew that from his father. But his father hadn't smoked that much, as this Godforsaken goj, so never his voice had never been this raspy. It reminded him of the war.

"You sound like my brothers smothering in gas. You should quit smoking."

He was blind, too weak to open his eyes. A deep sigh rang in his ears. He had to grin.

"It's nice here, Alfie, really..."

"God damn it, boy, you could fucking carry me in me own bed, stop pretending you can't carry me behind this house, shoot in me head and then let me rot there, or call Ollie."

Again tongue against teeth.

"I don't know if your dog would allow such a thing Alfie. And I would bury you."

"Nah, man, you would call your fucking family to do this shitwork for you. You're beyond that already, you don't bury the people you murder, we both don't, takes up too much time, we would bury for the rest of our lives, my sweet, sweet Tommy, we wouldn't be what we are if we gave a piece of shit about what we're doing."

And in that, Tommy gave a silent agreement.

Dark Desires (Part One)

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x Solomon!Reader

Warning: Smut, Arranged Marriage, Religious Themes, Loss of Virginity 

Notes: I hope no one gets offended by this! If so, I apologize in advance.

You stood in front of the alter at the synagogue and looked at the stranger in front of you with some confusion. He was the man who you were forced to marry and he was older than you had expected.

He also wasn’t Jewish which, to you seemed, strange considering your family’s believes and all you knew about him was that he was in business with your uncle, Alfie Salmons.

Your uncle had no children himself and, therefore, it was you who had to bear the burden of marrying this stranger. You were the closest unmarried relative he had and, in your small community, it was all about family and connections.

You knew that your marriage to this man was for this very purpose only and your uncle had told you many times how, sometimes, one would have to make a personal sacrifice in order to succeed in business.

This sacrifice was going to be your hand in marriage and, when you stood there and listened to the rabbi, you learned that your future husband’s name was Thomas Shelby.

Thomas Shelby’s reputation preceded him and your chin dropped. You had never seen or met him before but, when you heard his name, you knew who he was.

He was a member of parliament who used to be associated with the fascist, Sir Oswald Mosley, until they had a rather public falling out. And, he was also a known to be career criminal who owned several businesses in Small Heath.

“Why are you marrying a Jew after associating yourself with men like Mosley?” you asked carefully and quietly but the rabbi noticed and told you to be quiet.

“I have my reasons Love, now give me your hands” Thomas told you and shivers began to run down your spine.

You despised what he stood for and you knew that your uncle hated the fascists just as much as you did. So why was he doing this? What was he going to achieve by marrying you?

These intrusive thoughts went through your mind throughout the entire ceremony and you couldn’t even listen to what the rabbi had to say until it was done.

You were married now, to a man who you didn’t know, but thought you should fear.

***

“Mazal tov, now let’s celebrate our new reunion, eh” your uncle said cheerfully after you and your husband exchanged rings and broke the glass and, as usual, he didn’t adhere to any of the rules when he stepped up towards the alter.

“Mr Salmons, I will have to ask you to leave…” the rabbi began to say, shaking his head in disbelieve at your uncle’s attitude.

“Oh common, don’t be like this rabbi. You just married a non-Jew to a Jew so, me being up here with you, is the least of your problems. Despite, Tommy here isn’t even circumcised, eh” Alfie said and, by this point, you had become rather embarrassed about his behaviour.

You took your religion and this ceremony seriously and so did your parents. Yet, your uncle took a very light hearted approach to the sacrifice you had just made for the family and you didn’t appreciate that.

“Alfie, show some fucking respect, eh” Tommy said before apologising to you and the rabbi and you stepped down from the alter with your cheeks burning red. This wedding was a disaster and you wondered what else there was in store for you expect from the obvious.

***

Fortunately for you, there wasn’t much of a reception after the ceremony and, yet, you were reminded by both, your mother and your maid, that you had duties to fulfill that night.

“I am aware mother” you told her again, after already having had this conversation with her several times over.

You knew that you had to complete the ceremony in the traditional way and, as your uncle had told you, he was hoping that you would bear some heirs for the Shelby and Salomon empire in the future.

Being a mother had always been your desire and now that you were married, your wish may finally come to true. But, did you want children with a man like Thomas Shelby? You weren’t entirely sure.

The other question was whether he wanted you at all. He hadn’t talked much to you following the ceremony and, when you approached him about the conclusion of your matrimony, he simply laughed.

“You actually want me to…” he began to speak with amusement and you were quick to interrupt him. Clearly, he had no idea what was expected of him during your first night as a married couple.

“We must Thomas. It is required” you told him and all he did in response was to cock his eyebrows.

“Alright then Love. I will see you at midnight, eh” he said, still chuckling in disbelieve and you wished that he would have informed himself of your traditions and the requirements of your union before marrying you.

He didn’t care about you, or any of this and yet, somehow, you were, by tradition and custom, required to obey and serve him and to bear his children.

***

As Tommy had required, just before midnight, you laid down on the large cushioned bed inside your bedroom which you didn’t share with your husband.

You already removed your wedding gown as you had been told to do by your maid, now wearing nothing but white satin panties and a white satin nightgown which was the same nightgown your mother had bought for you for this very special and particular occasion.

It was pretty, modest and practical for completion of the ceremony which, traditionally, was done by the obvious act of intimacy.

Until such act was being conducted, you had to stay pure and this was something you adhered to. Your God’s values aligned with yours and this was the very reason you remained a virgin until now even though it felt somewhat improper and upsetting to give up your virginity to a man who you barely knew.

It was your duty and your obligation nonetheless to give this purity to your husband and whilst you didn’t exactly choose to be with him, you were about to have sex with him. You had agreed to this out of your own believes and contrition and you were determined to go through with it.

To get you into the mood, your maid had lit some candles and placed them all around the bedroom. And, it was also your maid who had explained the act to you in the past.

She told you that, your first time, was going to be painful and she also told you that you may never learn to enjoy sex in the future. According to her, it was simply your duty as a wife to satisfy the needs of your husband and bear his children.

She recalled her own wedding night as having been disastrous but it gave her what she now loved the most, her beautiful ten-year-old son.

A son was what your uncle told you needed to give to your husband. He already had one, but one was not enough. He needed many to look after his business affairs.

***

With that in mind, you prepared yourself and prayed for a successful conception. Being a mother was your ultimate goal and desire and, when your husband finally entered your bedroom at around midnight as promised, your heart began to race like crazy.

The nervousness you were encountering was nerve-racking and, the truth was that, you just really wanted to get this last part of your union over and done with.

“Are you sure that you want to proceed this way? Because we really don’t have to do this as far as I am concerned” your husband said with a little concern and it was almost like sleeping with you was transactional rather than something he desired to do.

“Yes. I am sure Thomas. It is required by our religion and I value our traditions. Let me fulfill my duties as your wife and bear you children” you told him and he immediately cocked his eyebrows at you again.

“Alright then” he said nonetheless. He was a man with needs after all and, with that, he took off his suit jacket, shoes and tie before approaching the bed slowly.

It didn’t take long for you to feel his weight on the bed and you were surprised by the fact that he didn’t even bother to get undressed.

“Have you ever had sex before Love?” he then asked bluntly while nudging your legs apart and positioning himself in between them in a kneeling position.

“No I haven’t” you admitted as you felt part of his weight on top of you after he had lowered himself onto you slowly and you inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of his aftershave.

“Alright, then I will be gentle, eh” Tommy said somewhat reassuringly as hand began to trace down your body, right beneath your panties and, eventually, he slid his fingers over your naked mound.

“Do you want me to take off my clothes?” you stammered nervously after shrieking at the sudden contact. This was the first time anyone but yourself had explored this region with his hands and, to your surprise, the feeling was rather pleasant.

“No Love. There is no need” he told you while he began toying with your soft little pussy.

“I didn’t expect you to be so wet already. This should be easy” your husband then said with a husky voice as his finger traced the exact outline of your vulva. He explored each fold, then toyed with your slit for a moment, and then slid his finger up towards your clit.

“I am?” you asked, moaning and stammering all at the same time. It was all you could say as it was almost too much for you to tolerate. You had never been with a man before and, whilst you were extremely nervous and even somewhat embarrassed about it, you were also extremely aroused by the idea of having sex for the first time.

It was obvious to you that your husband’s fingers were busy with a purpose. Within a split second, he had pushed the crotch of your underwear aside, while two of his fingers applied gentle pressure to your labia. He nudged the folds apart, and revealed what must have been a small opening.

“You are and I think that you are ready to take my cock now. But, don’t worry, I will go slow, eh?” Tommy then said as he pulled himself back up for a minute and unzipped his pants.

“Okay” you stammered again as he pushed down his pants and briefs but, before you could get a good look at his member, he leaned back down and positioned himself in between your legs.  

“Spread your legs a bit wider for me Love” he ordered you before he bucked his hips forward.

“Okay” you responded once more while clenching onto the sheets with your fists in anticipation.

“That it Love” Tommy cooed as, suddenly, the crown of his manhood rushed inwards and penetrated you without any warning whatsoever. Even the tip of his cock was enough to make your entire body tense up, and you groaned bitterly in response to the sudden intrusion.

There was an immediate burning soreness, as you felt your nether regions struggle to accommodate the intruder.

Tommy’s fingers eased their touch, and you felt your labia softly collapsing around his bulbous cockhead.

“Common Love. Let me push inside. You can take it” Tommy groaned while you struggled to breathe and then he uttered a simple moan, guttural and pleased.

“You are too big. You need to go slow” you told him as he continued to push his crotch towards yours. His erection slid deeper, and closer to your virginity. "

“You will get used to it. Trust me” your husband responded while you whimpered in confusion and with arousal. It felt too overwhelming but you knew that it had to be done. It was part of the ceremony and you needed to fulfill your duty as a wife.

“The more we do it, the easier it will get” Tommy then said as his member moved slowly but deliberately and you were distinctly aware of the exact shape and size of his cockhead.

“Okay” you said through gritted teeth while the walls of your vagina had formed a seal around that first inch of Tommy’s manhood and you could vividly imagine every ridge and vein adorning his shaft.

“Just keep your legs open for me, alright Love? Don’t fight it” Tommy then said and, after you nodded again, his cockhead applied pressure to what felt like a barrier. A thin membrane. Your treasured hymen. It was the one sign that you never had sexual intercourse and your panic grew worse. You knew that, what was about to come, would be rather painful.

“It hurts” you eventually pointed out as Tommy kept on moving inside of you slowly and the incredibly vulnerable, thin membrane inside you slowly began to tear.

“I know Love, but it will get better. I promise. Just try to relax and let me inside of you” Tommy said reassuringly and the only panicked reaction you could think of was to shut your legs slightly.

But it didn’t matter and, a short moment later, it happened. Tommy pushed forward and your hymen stretched a little more, and then collapsed.

“That’s it Love” he groaned in approval as your naked pussy clamped down on his erection, and you cried out bitterly.

“Oh god” you screamed as there was a sharp, stinging pain when Tommy tore your hymen and, luckily for you, the pain rapidly faded into a dull soreness.

Unlike the pain, the soreness was a sensation that you could tolerate and so you began to relax.

“You feel so good Love. So very tight and wet” Tommy cooed and, after feeling you relax around him, Tommy pulled back just a little, and then plunged deeper in than before. Multiple inches of his erection were being shoved into you, and you could feel your insides stretched taut to surround him.

“Thomas…” you moaned. It was such a surreal experience. You could feel your husband’s cock inside of you, and its heat was mixing with yours. More so than that, you awkwardly began to notice that your body continued to react on its own. Heat was building inside your loins, and you could feel yourself getting wetter because of the constant stimulation.

“You are going to take my cock so well, aren’t you, eh? Every fucking inch of it” Tommy groaned again in approval as he had unlimited access to your freshly deflowered womanhood.

You clutched onto his shoulder and, with rhythmical thrusts, in and out, he coaxed your pussy into opening up inch by inch. He was unknowingly easing your body into accepting his entire length. It kept going one inch at a time, until you could finally feel his crotch warm against yours. You could feel Tommy’s erection so deep inside of you, just beneath your navel. You were completely connected.

He seemed to cherish the moment and the wet heat, while your vagina desperately clenched down on his erection. Not a trace of his cock was left outside and you could feel the head of his member push straight against your cervix.

“Oh god, fuck” you murmured again as, each time Tommy pushed in particularly vigorously, you could hear a wet squelch coaxed out of your vagina. You had really gotten wet, dripping wet.

Tommy’s pace however had never changed, it was one continuous motion of sliding out, and back in. You did begin to feel yourself getting sore from the frequent friction, especially given the lack of foreplay. But you gave in to the moment nonetheless, just like a good wife would do. You wanted to satisfy your husband.

“Spread your legs wider Love and open up for me” Tommy told you as he kept on going and the bulbous crown of his erection scraped against your tender insides each time he withdrew. You knew that you wouldn’t be able to walk the following day if he was going to keep with this for much longer and you knew that you were raw inside.

“Let’s finish this ceremony, eh?” he then said as on the lower half of your body, you could feel Tommy’s hands reaching for a tighter grip of your thighs. He began to pull you closer, making sure that the entirety of his erection was safely embedded inside your youthful vagina.

"You are too deep” you moaned, feeling the pain against your cervix once again but Tommy simply uttered a weak grunt, and stopped moving.

You were at his mercy and the lips of your pussy were tautly embracing the very base of his erection as he began to move again, admistering deep and firm thrusts.

It was painful and you closed your eyes, concentrating on the weird sensations building inside of you. You could hear Tommy groan loudly and feel his erection beginning to throb intensely against the tight embrace of your womanhood. It was like a wild thrashing of his manhood, pulsing angrily against the snug confines of your vagina. For as long as it lasted, his fingers were pressing almost painfully into your flesh to keep you close. The sudden response was unexpected and startling. Due to your lack of experience, you had no idea what just occurred and a long moment passed before you calmed down again.

There was a long moment during which nothing was said, and nothing more happened. It was just you and him, your bodies joined together.

Eventually, the girth of Tommy’s manhood began to shrink while he continued to calm down his breathing.

“Are you alright Love?” he asked and you nodded.

“Yes” you confirmed as you felt a strange liquid heat spreading through your loins, faster than any other sensation you had felt before.

Your eyes opened wide as you could feel this foreign warmth rapidly spreading inside of your vagina, filling the empty spaces that were left by your husband’s softening appendage. He had done it. He completed the ceremony in the way it was meant to be done in the traditional way.

“Good, now you better get some rest, eh?” he said as you fumbled to reach down with your hands, and awkwardly grabbed and tugged on year satin nightgown while Tommy pulled his softening cock out of you.

He lost no time and pulled up his pants while you observed the sore area in between your legs.

A pool of his cum mixed with some of your blood had left with his shaft, leaving a sticky mess behind and Tommy moved his head so that he could get a better view of your red raw pussy as well.

“I have some work to do. I will see you at breakfast, eh?” he then said all so casually while reaching for his handkerchief and wiping away the cum and blood from in between your legs, cleaning you up gently.

“Yes. Okay Thomas” you said while straightening up your nightgown to regain some of your modesty and, for some reason, you felt strange about what happened between you and your husband.

You knew that he was your husband and this is what should be happening between husband and wife and, yet, it felt unnatural to you.

[sparkledfirecracker]

I’m not in any way being hateful to you in regards to Endearing Sins, personally I loved it and if it helped you process some of your trauma that’s great, but I’m also Jewish and I it’s extremely painful for many of us seeing people take a character that is Jewish and change his identity to that of another faith.

Hello anon, for one, I 100% value your thought and opinion. Your feelings in regards to this issue are valid in this experience. And I’m sorry to see that it’s painful to see for many.

Not being native to English always stresses me out in these types of answers, as you might perceive it in a way I do not intend it to be, my apologies upfront. Incoming the rising anxiety if I should be responding in the first place.

I sensed a double meaning in this ask and I’m not sure what you want me to answer with. As I can read it in two ways. This being a general kind ask or it’s a backhanded compliment. That being said, I’m not perceiving you as hateful in any way at all and I’m glad that you loved it regardless.

Personally, I use Ari for his looks and I borrow the name, that’s literally it. I don’t think anyone is deliberately trying to make him anything else with malicious intent, we all run with what we know.

Some mutuals, myself included, have been either told, reminded or have experienced the following: if you don’t know anything about a certain religion, culture, entity, heritage, etc. you don’t touch the subject and you do not attempt it as it may be received disrespectful. ‘You stick with what you know’. People who are implementing those believes, habits, practices, etc. can take offense in that if something within/from their practices are portrayed wrongly in a story. This is not just within fan fiction, this is also the case in official published work.

I’ve talked about this with one of my closest real life friends, who is Jewish. And we discussed a whole bunch of things, but each time she came back saying it didn’t make sense to why just only Ari, as the film was already a massive fuck up to begin with. Her words not mine: ‘A propaganda ego booster for a government that had been all over the news for its vile behaviour.’

Why is the issue with only Ari and not Bucky Barnes, Moon Knight, Velma Dinkley or even Alfie Salomons for that matter? There’s fiction out there that is definitely not corresponding with their, either, implied or known entity.

All I can do is apologize for the story I wrote if anyone has ever taken offense to it. That has never been my intention, as the meaning behind it has barely anything to do with religion, it’s an aspect I used to cover up the entire sex cult convention Ari’s running and throw a fictional middle finger at the church by using some elements.

Peluda, aswang, ahool & vampire ? (from @intoolerance )

○ ahool: if you could be any character, who would you be?

Même si mon inspiration a toujours été Mia Wallace dans les rôles féminins, je dois dire que j'aimerais être Alfie Salomone dans Peaky Blinders, parceque j'ai plutôt une attirance pour les attitudes masculine et clairement parcequ'il s'en bat la race de tout et qu'il a le contrôle.

○ aswang: quote to live by?

“

Find what you love and let it kill you

” de Charles Bukowski. Je suis clairement quelqu'un qui suit son coeur plutôt de sa raison, je suis rarement passionnée mais quand je le suis -que ce soir par une personne ou un domaine- je vis, je mange, je dors, je respire pour cette chose jusqu'à en être dégoûtée.

○ vampire: what scent describes your personality?

Je dirais une odeur iodée, une odeur très discrète mais qui renferme beaucoup d'énergies, parfois tourmentées parfois statique et calme. Des abysses et des récifs colorées et divers. (je pars trop loin ?)

○ peluda: what is a random fact that you know?

Souvent le parfum de vanille dans la nourriture et les parfums est donné grâce aux glandes anales prélevées sur des castor. voilà voilààà

@intoolerance

[blueeyedheizer]

hello leena👋, i am a complete fan of your writing i love each and every one of your stories, i was reading your most recent post. and I was wondering if your applications are open, if you could write something about (dark maybe?) Luca Changretta or (dark maybe?) Alfie Salomons x a model reader? (with smut) , sorry if it's weird or makes you uncomfortable in any way that was not my intention🙁. Thanks in advance for reading this. Take care of yourself, rest and hydrate. ❤🤗

Hi love ☺️

First of all thank you so much! It's not weird at all, but unfortunately I only write for Michael Gray :( I'm not a big fan of the other characters from peaky blinders therefore I only feel comfortable writing for him.

I'm sorry! But thank you again for your kind words, hopefully someone else will take your request ☺️💕

Peaky Blinders 4 (BBC 2 / 1-6) Steven Knight/ David Caffrey, GB, 2017

Cuarta entrega de los gangsters a cámara lenta de Steve Knight, donde continúa la retórica macho de este, el disparate histórico y las tramas rocambolescas. Esta vez, Tommy Shelby evoluciona a un mal mayor convertido en capitalista y al tiempo que negocia con el auge del movimiento sindical y el comunismo se enfrenta a un incompetente grupo de mafiosos italoamericanos con ansías de una vendetta que enlaza con la temporada 1. Adrien Brody da algo de color a su personaje, pero este no pesa como verdadero rival y se agradece el regreso en los últimos episodios de Tom Hardy/Alfie Salomons, excéntrico gangster judío que monologa por defecto. Alargada de modo exasperante, los personajes pasean/posan de un sitio para otro mientras hacen tiempo, suenan oscuras canciones y plantean argumento que no van a lado alguno. Retrocede un tanto en el pictoricismo, si bien continúa toda la imaginería de marca y no pasan suficientes insensateces simultáneas como para, esta vez, impedir el detenerse a pensar que en realidad, esta serie es muy mala.

[vhalyria]

top 10 fictional characters :)

Another difficult one!

1. Steve Rogers (marvel) (bc he’s my moral compass, like he literally inspires me to become a better, braver person)2. Raven Reyes (the100) (bc she’s a badass and such a genius, I admire her)3. Octavia Blake (the100) (my problematic fav. she can be so difficult but she’s also a very strong, inspiring character who’s transformation has helped me through a very dark time in my life)4. Peggy Carter (marvel) (bc she’s a literal goddess and her lipstick is making me weak. Also a few of my all time favorite quotes come from her) 5. Bucky Barnes (marvel) (bc he has been through hell and back and still has a kind, courageous, good heart. I’m just in love with him ok?)6. Bellamy Blake (the100) (bc he’s a hero. A damn hero. Who deserves much more recognition. That’s it.) 7. Sansa Stark (got/asoiaf) (bc she has had one of my favorite characters arcs ever, and because seeing her overcome what happened to her helps me overcoming my own past)8. Alfie Salomons (peaky blinders) (i hope that’s written correctly? Bc I’m just having a very weak spot for his patented mixture of sass, wisdom and rudeness)9. Sam Wilson (marvel) (bc he’s 100% husband material. 10/10 would marry. Actual angel. Warmest soul ever.) 10. John Murphy (the100) (bc even though I started out hating his guts, he quickly became one of my favs. All that sass and I-don’t-care attitude still can’t hide his golden heart) And because I again can’t stop myself here;10 ½. Hermione Granger (hp) (bc i grew up with her as my role model, she has always shown me that anything’s possible if you just put enough heart, brains, love and effort into it) 10 ¾. Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) (bc he’s just so genuinely GOOD. He does good, he believes in the good in people, he the Bestest™)

And sooooooo many more! How am I supposed to pick favorites out of all my beloved faves 😩

Thank you for asking my dear!

Guys, ask me my top 5/top 10 anything

Peaky Blinders fans are left 'in tears' as it's revealed Tommy Shelby adopted rival Alfie Salomon's dog Cyril after his death - as the hit BBC show returns for a fifth season

SPOILER WARNING FOR PEAKY BLINDERS SEASON FIVE EPISODE ONE

Peaky Blinders kick-started its fifth season with a bang last night on BBC Two

Fans of show tuned in to much anticipated season debut and not disappointed

As Thomas Shelby and family return to our screen, we found out kept dog Cyril

Cyril was pet of Alfie Salomon, Tommy's business partner who died season four

By CLAIRE TOUREILLE FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED: 06:24 EDT, 26 August 2019 | UPDATED: 06:29 EDT, 26 August 2019

Peaky Blinders fans were overcome with emotion after it emerged Tommy Shelby had adopted the dog belonging to his long-time rival in the series five premiere last night.

The hit BBC show returned to screens to find crime boss Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and his family living in post World War One Britain.

While viewers were given a taste of the drama that is to come this series, it was the appearance of Cyril the dog in the final moments of the show that garnered the most attention online.

At the end of series four Tommy killed fellow gang leader Alfie Salomon (Tom Hardy) in an emotional beach scene. The Peaky Blinder insisted that he would not look after Salomon's beloved Cyril, despite the dying man's last request.

However in last night's episode it was revealed Tommy did keep Cyril and the dog is living with him in his stunning stately home.

'So happy about this! Gorgeous Cyril,' one wrote.

'THANK GOD,' another rejoiced.  'This made me so happy. Tommy and Cyril,' observed one with heart-eyed emojis.  

In Hardy's last scene in season four, Tommy and Alfie confronted each other on a beach, Cyril in tow.

The Jewish gang leader from Camden, revealed he was suffering from skin cancer and wanted Tommy to end his suffering with a mercy kill.

'You're going to look after this dog,' Alfie asked.

'No,' Tommy replied.

'Well, his name is Cyril, he'll be very upset and distressed, so you'll need to find him someone.

Tommy was hesitant to pull the trigger on his business contact, as Alfie rambled about his illness.  

Instants later, Alfie shot Tommy in the leg to force him to pull the trigger. Tommy hit his business partner in the head, killing him instantly.

Tommy then left the beach while Cyril stayed by his dead owner's side.

The fact that Tommy eventually went back for the dog illustrates the complicated relationship between Murphy's and Hardy's character.

Alfie betrayed Tommy twice on the show, yet the man kept trusting him and almost could not bring himself to kill him.

Lukaku double sends Man United into FA Cup quarter-finals

Romelu Lukaku extended his impressive FA Cup scoring record by netting twice in Manchester United's 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town to earn Jose Mourinho's side a quarter-final tie at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Belgian has scored in each of the three rounds United have played of this year's competition and now has 11 goals from his past 10 FA Cup appearances and 21 in all competitions this season.

Lukaku's first came after three minutes, and the striker scored again in the second half after United mounted a quick counter-attack against a side who beat them at the John Smith's Stadium in the Premier League last October.

Saturday's fifth-round late kickoff also featured English football's latest video-assisted referee (VAR) decision when United's Juan Mata had a goal disallowed after being ruled fractionally offside before the interval.

"Yes, the decision went in our favour but this VAR for me kills the emotion of the game," said Huddersfield manager David Wagner. "This is why I don't like it but I am not the person who makes the decision."

United's midfielder Paul Pogba missed the game due to illness.

West Bromwich Albion's tumultuous week took a final turn for the worse as they were knocked out by Southampton, whose 2-1 victory at the Hawthorns secured the visitors a quarter-final berth for the first time since 2005.

Defeat always seemed likely for West Brom, who are bottom of the Premier League and sacked their chairman and chief-executive on Tuesday.

They then had four senior players interviewed by Spanish police over the alleged theft of a taxi from outside a fast-food restaurant in Barcelona.

Two of those involved in the incident, Jonny Evans and Gareth Barry, both started against Southampton after issuing a public apology, although Evans was stripped of the captaincy by Albion manager Alan Pardew.

"I felt I needed to make a little bit of a statement about the events," Pardew said. "I was far from happy over them."

Evans could do nothing to stop Southampton taking the lead through Wesley Hoedt on 11 minutes, with Dusan Tadic adding the second after the interval.

Salomon Rondon quickly countered for West Brom but Southampton held on to record their second win at Albion in two weeks and earn a quarter-final at either Wigan Athletic or Manchester City, who play on Monday.

Debut goals end Coventry dream

Brighton's Jurgen Locadia scored on his debut in the 3-1 win over Coventry City who, after knocking out Stoke City in the third round, failed in their attempt to make FA Cup history by becoming the first fourth-tier side to beat two top-flight teams in the same season.

There was never much chance of that with Brighton's record signing Locadia scoring with his first shot on target after 15 minutes and Leicester City loanee Leonardo Ulloa, who is in his second spell with the Seagulls, rounding off the win after Connor Goldson netted his first goal in almost two years. Jonson Clarke-Harris scored Coventry's consolation.

The last time Brighton were a top-flight team they reached the FA Cup final in 1983, when they lost to Manchester United, their opponents in next month's quarter-final.

At Hillsborough, both managers bemoaned the replay after second-tier Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City shared a goalless draw, with Swansea's Carlos Carvalhal suggesting everyone would have been happy to play on to penalties.

"It's a score nobody wants. I also believe (that's the case) for Sheffield Wednesday - the same one more game. Maybe in the future we can think that if the managers and referee agree after the first game we can go to penalties and we can finish the game today," said Carvalhal who was given a warm reception on his return to the club he managed for two and a half years.

The replay is Swansea's third in succession as they continue to juggle cup commitments with a Premier League survival battle that has become more difficult after impressive defender Alfie Mawson injured himself before kickoff and was subsequently seen wearing a knee brace.

The winner of the replay will host Rochdale or Tottenham Hotspur, who play on Sunday.

Leicester City will be home to Chelsea in the remaining quarter-final. All games will be played between March 16 and 19.
