ONLY YOU - JON SNOW
Summary: After being accused of wanting another woman instead of you, he makes it his mission to let you know that he wants youâŚand only you.
Warnings: This is all over the place but it makes sense in my head :D. Completely made up the last name for the sake of the fic. Now for real warnings - One (1) quickie, unprotected sex (be smart yâall), vaginal penetration, fingering, oral (female receiving), face-sitting., love-making ig, overstimulation, basically porn, very light touch of breeding, one (1) use of the word âwhoreâ, marriage (yes that is a fucking warning but itâs not that complicated in this fic), feelings (ew), mild language, cheating accusations, mentions of not being able to conceive, one (1) very brief mention of Jon crying (yes this is also a warning)
A/N: Hello my darlings! My laptop is still being repaired so please bear with my shitty typing as well as possible typos. I just recently started watching GOT and I HAD to jump on the opportunity the second I laid my eyes on JonâŚâŚ considering that Iâm only a few episodes in, I did not follow anything too canon considering that I donât want the details to be too off.
Word count: 4.2k+ (this is the most Iâve written in forever LMAO)
not my gif!
Daenerys Targaryen. The most wanted woman of all in any of the kingdoms. She was undoubtedly envied by many, you included. You were a very close runner-up, but it didnât help much considering your familyâs constant comparisons between you and the younger girl.
You were nearing twenty-one and you had yet to be set for marriage, your parents frowning upon the idea that you wanted different things in life. Sure it might be nice to carry on your familyâs legacy and become the heir, being their oldest of seven girls, but it wouldnât be all that nice when youâd get threatened by others to give up your title as queen.
Youâd met Jon when your parents had gone over to the Stark residence for a ceremonial dinner. Heâd been out front, swording away at a dummy. You removed the flask from the garter that sat under your dress, sipping the bitter whiskey. Youâd leaned yourself up against the wall, eyeing the dark-haired alpha as he blabbered away to his uncle Benjen.
He stole several glances, his tongue prodding at the inside of his cheek when he realized your gown parted more and more to allow some air under the fabric.
âI shall go with you when you leave, Uncle Benjen. My father will say yes - ask him!â
Trying your best to not eavesdrop much more, you began to wander off. His uncle couldnât stop the perverse words that fell from his tongue. You glanced over your shoulder, shooting the older male a wink, careful as to not show too much of your face as heâd only seen your silhouette. He took off, heading into the castle to rejoice with his brother and several lords, leaving you in the presence of the young man.
âTisnât quite the scene for a lady. You should be inside with everyone else.â
âNor is it the scene for the son of a lor-â
âLady Stark requested that I didnât join them for the dinner.â
âOh, right. Jon Snow, is it? The bastard?â
You finally turned to face him, his eyes widening in their sockets.
âHonorable Y/N Burke. You shanât be in the presence of an unwed man, young lady.â
âThere are many things that I âshanâtâ do,â you mimicked air quotes. âBut, youâll find very soon, bastard, that I donât care much about the things that I shanât do.â
He eyed you for a moment longer, his sword firm at his side. You had yet to conceal your flask, offering him a sip before taking one of your own.
You watched as his eyes glanced over the way your lips encircled the opening, a drop of the liquid dribbling down the side of your mouth before your finger swiped at it, sucking the digit into your mouth.
Then he lost it.
He pounced on you in just a matter of seconds, groaning as your tongue mingled with his. The exchange of tastes - the whiskey warm with a mix of whatever sweetness youâd treated yourself to beforehand, and his bare whiskey. You could almost taste his musk but it mustâve only been the way his scent overstimulated each of your senses.
His hands, which had made themselves up to your face, dropped to your waist, pulling your lower halves together as he felt up on your body.
âGoodness- we canât get caught, Snow.â
Your breath picked up into heavy pants, his fingers dipping into your undergarments as he swallowed all of your moans.
âJust be quiet, darling, and they wonât know a thing.â
He teased your clit with a grin plastered to his face. He yanked your underpants down, mimicking the move with his own clothing.
âJon-â
âSh, sweetheart-â
He hoisted you into his arms, not hesitating to plow himself into you. You bit down on your lower lip, trying to fight each moan from leaving your mouth. A high-pitched squeal sounded from your throat as his hand accompanied his rather vulgar pace.
âFuck-â
âRemember what I told you, sweetheart,â he grunted into your ear.
His arm circled itself around your waist, stabilizing your squirming figure. His head tipped back, a groan sounding from his throat before his forehead met yours.
âJon, fu-â
Before you could finish your statement, you felt the pulsating of his cock, his seed dribbling down your legs. He fucked you through his high, dropping his thumb to your cunt so youâd finally come around his cock. Your body shuddered as your climax hit you, your hands clutching onto him for dear life.
He pulled his garments back up once heâd placed you on the makeshift railing. You remained silent for just a bit longer until you broke said silence.
âLook, Jon- LordâŚSnow, Iâve heard of your desire to leave this land and become a Night Watcher. I justâŚ.â
For once you had not much to say despite wanting to spew so much out.
âI know of your oath and the things you must accede to.â
âWhat are you getting at, Hon Burke?â
âIfâŚif I am to carry your child, and I know the chances are slim because itâs only been once-â
âAs you said, itâs only been one time. Donât speak nonsense. This never happened. Are we clear?â
âBut-â
He turned to you, helping you redress yourself with a sigh. He couldnât miss the way your demeanor faltered just a tad, his own softening drastically.
âItâd be in both of our best interests to pretend that this never happened, sweetheart.â
And so you did as he said.
Despite wanting oh so badly to miss your menstrual cycle that month, itâd worked out for the best - youâd told yourself. Youâd only known the lad for a few minutes tops but he remained on your mind for years following.
Upon his leave, you were devastated. Watching with teary eyes as the man you knew you wanted so much more with was leaving. Your mother watched as you quickly wiped a tear from under your eye, sniffling quietly.
Two years down the line, it was nearly impossible to avoid the fact that youâd have to step up and become queen rather soon.
âMother, I am not stepping into that role until I get a proper proposal!â
âYouâre too picky, Y/N! Weâve been waiting - for years, weâve been waiting. Youâve gotten thirty proposals, all of which youâd turned down for the darndest reasons!â
âIâm not picky! I am awaiting someone that will settle for more than what the stupidity of this society offers. My king-â
âHas arrived.â
That voice. His voice.
Immediate tears were brought to your eyes as you found Jon standing in your doorway.
âJ- Sir Jon Snow. Am I dreaming?â
âNo, mâlady. âTis truly I.â
You resisted every fiber in your body that urged you to jump into his arms and snog him right in front of your mother.
âLady Burke,â he bowed.
Your mother offered a tight-lipped smile before leaving the pair of you to catch up.
âI didnât think Iâd see you for another ten years.â
Your smaller arms pulled his body into yours, embracing his warmth despite his cool armor.
âJon,â you hummed, nuzzling yourself further into him.
âY/N,â he copied your actions, smoothing his hand over your hair. âI couldnât do without you for much longer.â
âReally? Thatâs hard to believe considering how quick you left after fucking me,â you quipped.
âIâm sorry, darling. I truly am.â
You met his lips in a soft kiss, your fists clenching around his coat.
âHowâve you been holding up?â
âIâve just been dandy.â
Lies.
âSort of glad I didn't have your child.â
Lies.
âTried to get back out there after you left.â
Lies.
His arm tightened around you at the last of your statements.
âTell me, Hon. Am I marrying a whore?â
ââMarrying a whoreâ?â you were flabbergasted. âOne - never call me a whore again. Two - who said we are to be wed?â
âMe.â
The simplicity of his statement baffled your mind.
âYou? My father would never let me-â
âMarry a bastard. But, darling, as I remember, youâd told me something two years ago. You donât care about the things you shanât do and that shall include claiming me to be your king.â
âWell, why do you wait, my lord?â
He held you tight to his chest with his pupils blown.
âTell me youâll be mine, sweetheart. This is my proposal to you. We shall leave this land and rule our own kingdom together.â
âI do accept your proposal, my dearest, but I believe it isnât that easy.â
âNothing is easy, especially this. If your father is to deny our marriage and your leave, we shall go nonetheless.â
You grinned up at him, shaking your head as you laid your head on his chest.
âThen I shall marry you, my king.â
As expected, your parents didnât have the merriest of a reaction when it came to notifying them of your leave with the man whoâd notoriously been known to be a bastard. They were disappointed you wouldnât be running their kingdom but they were relieved to see that you were finally off to be married. They hesitantly approved of the young manâs proposal, sending you off with him.
On your ride to your new castle, miles from your parentsâ kingdom, you couldnât help but question your husband-to-be.
âWhy did you leave?â
He eyed you.
âThe Night Watch. Why did you leave, Jon?â
âI know my status as a bastard wouldâve done me well over there but I couldnât take it. Being away from you, my family. It was eating at me day and night.â
âThenâŚwhyâd it take you two years to come back?â
âI didnât know how to tell them Iâd be leaving. It took me a long time to muster up the courage for that.â
You allowed yourself to remain silent until he placed a hand on top of yours.
âI will spend the rest of my life making it up to you. I regret ever setting myself up to be away for the rest of my life, but now Iâve got you and thatâs all that I need.â
âYou sure have a way with words, donât you?â
His lip quirked into a gentle smile, his hand squeezing yours with tenderness.
In just a couple of weeks, you were settled into your new home with your husband. It was now time to host several dinners and welcome all to your land. You were beyond ecstatic but it wasnât until the guests actually arrived that you became wary of those around you.
Daenerys had made quite the entrance into your home, every one entirely forgetting that you existed for a moment. The Khal trailed behind her, offering head nods to those that personally greeted him.
Your heart stammered in your chest beyond your control. You isolated yourself from the crowd, tears cascading down your cheeks as your breathing grew jagged.
Your husband seemed to be infatuated with the platinum blonde-haired girl. You couldnât blame him but it was killing you. He hadnât torn his eyes from her, nor did she. She seemed to eye Jon for a bit too long, keeping great eye contact with him as she bowed.
âNo need for that,â he chuckled, greeting Drogo with a firm handshake.
He waited for you to greet the couple, not sparing a glance at your seat until he hadnât heard your voice whatsoever.
âY/N?â
Chatting and eating resumed, Jonâs leg bouncing anxiously. He watched like a hawk, eyes wandering about the crowd.
âLord Snow, I don't think Lady Snow is feeling all that well.â
Upon hearing your name, you wiped the last of your tears, seating yourself at your husband's side yet again.
âDarling, whatâs the matter?â
He held your face in his palm, eyebrows furrowing at your puffy and reddened eyes.
âNothing, my lord.â
You spoke the words with such harshness that it pierced his heart.
âWhat-â
âAh, Lord and Lady Snow! Why donât you make a toast?â
âI donât think-â
âOf course, Benjen. We shall give a toast!â
You stood with your goblet, Jon staring at you with confusion clear in his features before standing on his own two feet.
âThank you all for coming tonight. Lord Snow and I are delighted to be sharing such a special moment with you all. We wouldnât have wanted it to be spent any other way. Jon?â
He cleared his throat, keeping his eyes on you as he spoke.
âIâm sure Iâm supposed to be thanking you lot but if it werenât for my beautiful wife here, I wouldnât be standing in front of you and for that, I thank her. I thank her for trying to understand me, for being the greatest human on earth, and for standing by my side regardless of what. Iâve known the shame of being a bastard for my whole life but sheâs willing to bear the embarrassment of being wedded to me.â
His speech went on and on and on. It didnât seem to end but your heart fluttered at his words. He grasped onto your hand when you turned away from him, your eyes catching Daenerysâ. You shook those pestering thoughts from your mind, repeating âstop it, stop it, stop itâ over and over in your head.
That had only been the first of many instances, though.
You were distraught. Itâd been months since you and Jon were lawfully wedded yet it seemed as if you couldnât conceive. Your parents were applying pressure, sending ravens to your kingdom every day after, asking when youâd bear children.
After a dinner youâd put together at your castle, you lost it. Jon had spent nearly three hours lingering near the Khal and his Khaleesi. For only two minutes, he held you at his side while conversing with the couple. Youâd shimmied yourself from his arms, entertaining the younger Stark children.
Robb had witnessed the way in which you embraced your inner child, chasing the kids around as they screamed their heads off. You shooed them away with a motion of your hand. With a hand on your hip, you watched them run off, your heart aching at the thought of never having children.
âAny luck yet, mâlady?â
Robb chuckled as you flinched in the slightest.
âMy goodness, Robb. No, no luck yet. However, we already have names picked out, as well as runner-ups for godparents.â
âOh really?â
You playfully rolled your eyes, spinning to face the brunette.
âIf youâre so desperate to hear it, then yes, you are a candidate for our childrenâs godfather.â
He took your hand into his, landing a kiss on your knuckles as you giggled endlessly.
âI knew you always loved me,â he dramatically expressed.
You raised a brow, badgering him, âSay that with caution, Stark.â
âOr what? Lord Snow will behead me?â
âI might.â
The older boy wrapped his arm around his brotherâs neck in a cub-like embrace.
âGoodness, Jon. Leave your brother be,â you scolded him, watching as his eyes lingered on you for a moment longer.
The dinner was called to an end rather soon, but a few of your guests straggled about - Khaleesi Daenerys amongst the few. Your eyes were like daggers as you watched Jon converse with the younger girl. You were drawn from your thoughts the moment Robb placed his hand on your shoulder.
âNow, Y/N, I am well aware that you think my brother is mad over this woman - or at the least, having an affair with her. But I can assure you, nothing of that sort is happening at all. Heâs only trying to make am-â
âIâd like to hear that from him, Robb. If heâs just trying to make amends with the Khal and everyone then thatâs on me. But it doesnât help that the Khaleesi is that fucking gorgeous. She has these big doe eyes that scream âhelp meâ or âfuck meâ! I donât know which one it is but Iâm afraid that Jon will play the hero and be the one that fulfills any of her needs.â
You were seething in the corner with Robb at your hip. He tried assuring you repeatedly but you were quite a stubborn queen.
After everyone had left for good, you wasted no time in heading straight to bed. You wanted to avoid Jon to the best of your ability but you simply couldnât outdo the king. Before you could step foot out of your bedroom with your things in hand, Jon stepped in front of you. He backed you into the room, his Adamâs apple bobbing as he shut the door.
âWhatâs your problem?â
You tried to not break under his intense gaze, your eyes bouncing from his own to everywhere in the room.
âWhat is your issue, Y/N?â
His voice was too quiet for your comfort.
âAre youâŚhaving an affair with Daenerys, Jon?â
The words that left your mouth sent a genuine fit of laughter racking through his body.
âAre you being serious?â
âAnswer the question.â
His laughter died down, his body gravitating towards yours.
âOf course, Iâm not having an affair with Daenerys. What makes you ask this?â
âThe way you look at her kills me, Jon. When sheâs here, it feels like I donât exist! Why do you think I disappear for hours on end- you know what - you donât even realize that Iâm gone because youâre too immersed in your interactions with her! Itâs-â
His hands found themselves on either side of your face, forcing you to look at him, though gently.
âIf I was having an affair with Daenerys or anyone else, do you think that Iâd be in the same bed as you every single night? All of those things I said about you months ago were nothing but true. You were probably too busy being upset with me to hear most of it but I donât want anyone else. I want you and only you.â
âThen why do you look at her the way that you do? Thereâs so much compassion and-â
âI look at her that way because I feel bad for her! She talks to me because she feels as if she canât trust anyone else, not even her own brother. Iâm sorry that I ever made you feel less important. Youâre the most important person, the most important thing in this world. I care for Daenerysâ well-being but I donât care about her the way I care about you. I love you and I know I donât say it enough but I do!â
He panted as he read your face.
âSo youâre not cheating on me?â
âNo, and I never will! I only want you, Y/N Snow. Only you.â
His lips met yours, your shoulders falling as relief washed over you. You allowed your hands to get lost in his hair, his arms wrapping themselves around your waist as your lips moved in tandem.
âTell me you love me.â
You hadnât noticed the few tears that stained his cheeks until he spoke against your lips, your heart aching in your chest.
âJon, my darling, I love you more than you will ever know.â
His arms tightened around you, lifting you from the ground as he pecked your skin.
âIt seems as though I have to make up to you for the rest of my life,â he chuckled against your skin.
âSweetheart, you loving me alone is enough of an apology.â
He laid you gently on the bed, undoing your bodice in an impressive amount of time. He held back no longer, suckling on the skin that was graciously presented to him.
âJon,â you hummed.
He imitated your actions, putting a ministration to his movement once heâd reached your underpants. After kissing, biting, sucking on your skin, his lips were red and plump. They met yours again, the taste of whatever wine youâd been drinking just hours prior still lingering on your tongue.
He worked his hands into the sides of your underpants before pushing them down your legs. You whimpered against his tongue as his fingers stimulated your clit.
âDarling,â you gasped out, his fingers dipping in and out of your cunt.
He used a leg to pry yours apart, reveling in your angelic sounds. He propped himself up on his other arm, hand holding his head. With your hands tugging at his clothing, you pulled him in even closer.
His face disappeared into the nape of your neck. The way in which he breathed against your neck caused your skin to crawl.
His nose nudged at your jawline, a dumbstruck grin taking over his features once he felt your walls pulsating around his digits. Nothing couldâve prepared you for the next words that flew from his mouth.
âLannister had told me he imagined you sitting on his face long before my proposal. I nearly slayed the son of a bitch until I realized you werenât mine then. Why donât you come on my face, sweetheart?â
âW-what?â You stammered out - half shocked at the proposition and half processing the fact that he was still fucking you with his fingers.
âMy pretty girl doesnât want to sit on my face?â
He jutted out his bottom lip, on which you pressed a kiss, uttering an âI doâ. Your legs squirmed a bit more until you came. Your back arched off the mattress as you gasped and cried out. He slid his fingers into his mouth, his eyes locked on your blissful features.
âYou taste heavenly,â he murmured, wiping his saliva-slicked fingers off on his bottoms.
His words made your cheeks heat up, using whatever strength you had to push yourself onto your knees.
âAre you sure about this, Jon?â
âA million times over - yes, Iâm sure about this.â
He laid himself down, your legs trembling as your cunt hovered over his face. He brought you down in seconds, not being able to resist the temptation.
His tongue expertly worked your cunt as itâd done several times before. Sitting on his face, however, brought a new sense of pleasure to you - his nose bumping your clit every so often as the entirety of your cunt grew soaked. The mix of his saliva and your release sent you spiraling once more, the core in your lower half tightening before you could say anything.
His tongue softly fucked your desperate hole, a glass-shattering moan sounding from within. You couldnât hold back any of it. You needed to let the whole damn castle know that your king was treating you right.
âJon!â
One hand dropped to his hair, the other fondling your breast. Your eyes dropped to his, your body giving out at the sight of his disheveled hair and his eyes just begging for your come.
Your body shook gently as you came in his mouth, eyes screwing shut once your head had lolled back. Youâd lifted yourself off to the side, your husband chuckling at your already fucked-out state.
âHow was that?â
His fingers traced patterns on your skin as you came down from one of your many highs for the night.
âFuckinâ amazing,â you breathed out, your arms reaching for him once heâd brought himself to his knees.
You watched as he undid his bottoms. The intense eye contact he held with you was a telltale sign that you needed to help him out of his clothes before he exploded.
âI wonât be rough tonight,â he whispered.
You bit your lip, feeling the burn of his gaze on your face as you undid the buttons of his shirt. Your insides grew fuzzy, becoming giddy at the fact that this was truly your husband. No one, nothing could ever take him away from you.
He stood nude before you, pressing his back to the headboard before patting his lap. You climbed onto him in a matter of seconds, your hands already stabilizing themselves on his shoulders. Your knees bent at either hip, legs akimbo to appease his girth. You pumped him a few times, running his tip up and down your fold before sinking onto him with a cry.
âHas it been long, my darling?â
You nodded, offering an airy chuckle as you struggled to take all of him.
âGods, Iâm beyond s-â
You hushed him with a kiss on the lips, your hips beginning to rock back and forth once youâd hit his base. His hands fell to your behind, your back arching as he hit that spongy spot inside of you. His name left your mouth like a mantra, chants of âfuck, fuck, fuckâ following right after. Your mouths found one another in a slobbery mess, a clash of teeth and tongue as the rutting of your hips became more desperate.
âStop apologizing, my lord. I- holy shit, I love you,â you choked out.
âI love you, sweet girl.â
His forearms held onto your waist, using this as leverage to thrust himself further into you.
The pace of his hips, the words exchanged, the looks on both of your faces. Just outside your door, guards exchanged knowing glances, clearing their throats at the sounds that came from the both of you. They seemingly grew louder, Jon taking the opportunity to let the words flow from his mouth - âI shall put a baby in you tonight.â
And so the night proceeded. Jon didnât let up until you physically couldnât go for another round, making sure none of his seed left your womb.
It was a relief to know that your king, your lord, your love wanted you and only you.

(or just confess his love in an agressive way).
i love your imagines anyway.
I LOVED THIS REQUEST. And I may have fallen in love with the reader... Maybe even enough to want a second part...
Thank you so much for sending this in and for waiting <3
Hope you enjoy it! XO

Finding a decent job in Small Heath was challenging.
Youâd grown up with a thick coating of anxiety that wrapped around you tightly. You were smart, but the pressure of situations would leave words tangled in your mouth, your stomach would twist up, face flushing, and more often than not you would say something embarrassing. Then suddenly you had a tight body and heavy breasts that only made things worse. The girls got even more mean, and the boys were relentless.
You were excellent in maths, sciences, writing & reading, you spoke four languages, to survive here looking like you did you had plenty of street smarts, and an excellent sense of humor. Yet everyone just saw a slow girl in a whores body. So while waiting for a better opportunity you were helping your father with his restaurant.
You met Mr. Shelby properly for the first time at the horse races.
Your father always kept an ear out about the gossip and you would often strategize the information heâd given you. So far youâd never lost a bet. I guess the Shelby family noticed that your father had started coming out on top regularly, as you noticed them watching you the whole afternoon.
After the race your father had you go to the gambling tables. Shelby eyes followed you the whole night. It must look very strange, your plump father flirting with the barmaid while his daughter worked the floor amongst men.
You knew from the second time youâd noticed Thomas and his brothers staring that anything you collected today would likely be torn from your hands. Which was a shame, with the tips you were allowed to keep at work and the take home from weekends like this you could almost move out on your own.
You decided that enough was enough, the man next to you was starting to sit a bit to close for your liking. You finished the round collecting your chips, and the men at the table looked at you like they would give up just about anything to fuck you then throw your body in the cut.
Perfect time to make an exit.
You handed your collection of chips to your father to cash in, then moved down the bar to where Mr. Shelby was leaning with a glass of whiskey in his hand.
You were momentarily grateful that his brothers had moved further down. Confronting him on his own seemed the slightest bit better if he was on his own.
âMr. Shelbyâ You said in a friendly voice, despite your heart racing and your palms getting sweaty. He nodded at you waiting for you to speak. His eyes were a piercing blue and he held himself in a way that made you start to shrink on the inside.
âI have noticed you noticing me all day, is there a reason for that?â You were pretty sure that you were in big trouble and it was better to just get it over with.
âWe have business.â He said in a casual tone. Still looking you over.
âShould we discuss it?â You asked timidly. Please don't take me out to the alley.
âNot here, come by the betting shop tomorrow morning.â
âShould I bring my father?â Please say yes. Don't make me go there alone.
âNo need, you're clearly the person I need to talk to.â He looked the slightest bit amused, eyes searching your face. You could already feel the thick blush covering your skin.
âAlright.â You gave him a polite smile, unsure of what to say or do. He only downed his drink and placed the glass back down on the bar.
âTomorrow, betting shop, 8am, don't be late.â He winked at you before walking over and talking to his brothers. They both turned to look you over, eyes heavy with speculation. One of them said something earning him a hearty slap to the back of the head before the three of them got up and exited the busy club.
âReady for home, love?â Your father asked, causing you to jump.
âYes! Let's get out of here.â You went home without telling your father about tomorrow's meeting. There is no way on earth he would send you in there alone to meet with a man like that.
You thought about it as you laid awake in your bed. You knew that it would probably be some typical mob meeting where they put your fingers in a drawer making you promise not to bet or gamble on their turf again. Your father didn't need to see that, and he made it clear he wanted your fingers knowing you were the brains behind your fathers winnings.
You just hoped it was your fingers he wanted. A beating, a few bruises or a split lip was all fine and good. But you had a feeling in the pit of your stomach that he might have other ideas of getting the message across.
Eventually after a night of unease and spiralling thoughts you got yourself ready for the day. You had things to focus on which calmed your nerves slightly. Your father wouldn't be up for another hour so you wrote a note saying you were going out.
You were grateful that the shop didn't open till 9, it meant you didn't have to deal with the men that normally lined up. You knocked at the door.
âFUCK OFF! WE OPEN AT 9â A angry female voice called out from behind the worn wooden door.
âI HAVE A MEETING WITH MR. SHELBY AT 8â You shouted back. The door swung open and a lady dragged you into the shop by your arm.
âGood heavens woman, you want the whole world to know your business?!â She left you standing in the entryway and floated back to her desk. She lit a cigarette and looked you over.
âI didn't think whores worked this early in the morning.â Her eyes narrowed and you took a deep breath. It was too early in the morning for this petty shit.
âI wouldn't know.â She scoffed and Thomas walked into the space from the back door.
âYou're on time!â He said motioning you towards his office.
âAlways amâ You said with the brightest smile you could manage.
You sat across from his desk in a comfortable leather chair. Happy that your fingers were nowhere near the drawers.
âSo Miss L/N. Big winnings yesterday at the race.â He lit a cigarette and took a long drag. âThen you cleaned out two rounds of poker.â You shivered under the weight of his heavy gaze.
âYes.â You literally watched him watch you do it so there was no point in denying anything.
âLike the past three race days.â His voice was dark and should send millions of alarm bells off in your head but you couldn't help but focus on his mouth. You slapped yourself mentally.
âThat would be correct.â You said with a steady voice.
âHow?â
You explained almost everything. You wouldn't give up your method of card counting or the mental math processes behind any other gambling you did. But you explained how you had put the pieces together about which horse was going to win. Explained what your father heard on the street, mixed with what you heard the men talk about at his restaurant, then what you knew of the local gangs and the politics of Small Heath.
âSo most things just follow a pattern, you just need to know where to look. And listen I guess.â He watched you closely the whole time, his eyes were sharp like he was trying to catch you in a lie.
âAnd you just happen to be good at looking and listening?â
âI would say I do a good job, yeahâ You gave a little nod.
âWhat else are you good at?â Your nose crinkled at his words, youâd heard similar things out of peoples mouths countless times and most of them had sexual intentions. He seemed to catch your reaction, and almost seemed the slightest bit empathetic. âAre you good at maths? What are you doing for work right now?â He clarified smoothly.
âYou already know Iâm excellent at maths, but I am also good with language arts, sciences, and I am fluent in English, Russian, and German. I currently bartend at my fathers restaurant three nights a week.â You also spoke Romani but figured youâd keep that in your back pocket as you knew they were gypsy. If this became a regular interrogation they would probably speak it behind your back.
âWhy do you work for your father?â
âWould you believe me if I told you this was the smoothest conversation Iâd had with someone not related to me?â
âYesâ He almost smiled. You shrugged.
âWhy German and Russian?â He asked, you didn't blame him for asking, they weren't romantic languages and they certainly were not welcome in today's political climate.
âMy grandmother was Russian and I picked it up when I was little before she passed.â
âAnd German?â His eyes narrowed ever so slightly and you sighed.
âItâs embarrassing.â You felt your face get hot but he only raised an eyebrow prompting you to continue. âThere was a book series I wanted to read and it was only in German, so a friend taught me in school.â
âLieâ He said quickly.
You let out another sigh and you could feel he was enjoying this.
âI didn't have friends in school. I taught myself so I could read the books. Iâm currently working on picking up French.â You answered sheepishly and he gave you a small smile that hit you deep in your stomach.
He didn't know that German was the only common language your father didn't know, and the books were filthy enough to have you sent to a nunnery for the rest of your life.
âYour father was in France?â
âYes.â
âYour mother?â
âDied of a sickness while he was away.â You answered tightly, he didn't need to know more about that. No one did. He poured you a glass of whiskey and you accepted it with a thanks.
âYou kept the books and the restaurant while he was gone.â
âYesâ
âHow old are you?â
â20â His gaze turned darker somehow and you flushed again. âIs that a problem?â
âNoâ
He looked you over like he wasn't sure what to think of you. After a long moment you realized this was the nicest conversation youâd had with someone outside of your family. He listened to you and kept his eyes on your face, like he actually cared about what you had to say. Different feelings made their way into your body as you considered the dangerous man in front of you.
âWork for me. Be here at 8am, Tuesday to Saturday. Iâll pay you the going rate for a bookkeeper but I'll double it in three months if you use your talents for some extra work on the side.â
You were shocked but your face fell at the last sentence.
âTalents being the ones we discussedâ He said in a pointed tone.
Your face lit back up.
âNone of this is legal is it?â You said with a twinkle that caught him off guard.
âWe are working towards it.â He said sternly, but you only let out a laugh. You couldnât believe your luck.
âDone.â You reached out your hand which seemed to amuse him. He shook it and you felt electricity run through your skin. You wanted this job just as much as you wanted to know him.
After that the woman who opened the door for you was instructed to show you everything about the place. Which led to a yelling match and some kind of special family meeting.
You came back the next day to be properly introduced to the family. The boys took the piss like they always did whenever you thought you deserved some respect. Thomas seemed to have said something to have kept them relatively in check.
The women were mean like always. Polly, the woman who answered the door yesterday, was not impressed with your employment, but you were fairly sure you could win her over with time. Esme seemed to distance herself from you and that was fine enough. You came here to work, not make friends.
You just smiled at them brightly, too excited at the opportunity for their emotions to get in the way of it.
Quality of life improved immediately. People still thought the same shit about you but no one would say it to your face out of fear of your employers. Money was fucking good. You soon had your own little apartment close to the shop. Your father wasn't happy about the arrangement but he was happy to see you doing better.
Once youâd proved yourself useful to Polly she became the closest thing to a friend youâd had. Esme took a little bit longer but you assumed it had more to do with the way John looked at you in passing. Eventually she came around and even apologized to you.
Friends. A job. All you needed was Tommy.
You assumed being brought into the darker parts of the job, the feelings for him would lessen. But it only got worse.
You couldn't help it. The man looked at you like you were a secret weapon. He brought you to sit in on business meetings to observe men, then go on your way digging shit up on them. You cracked coded letters, caught snitches, rigged races.
You spent a considerable amount of time with him. You helped with the books, managed his schedule, and attended various stake outs. He always showed up with a look of amazement, that on top of all of it you still had time to slack off reading your novels, and all those little passing looks went straight to your heart.
You were desperate for him to make a move, heck every man in the bloody city had been after your ass since you were 11. Now that you want the attention you couldn't have it.
Dressing yourself up wasnât practical with the type of side work you did. So you just tried to impress him. Useless facts, jokes to try and make him laugh, you tried to cheer him up when he was in a mood, always trying to outdo yourself at the tasks he gave you.
You did the same for his family, always trying to be helpful, you took especially good care of the little ones. Finn regularly came to you for advice. It all made you hopeful that maybe you could fit in here permanently.
He always gave you praise and the occasional smile, but never a desperate confession, or an act of passion. He wouldn't let other men touch you in his presence, something you thought was unbearably hot. But you speculated it could also be that he thought of you as a little sisterâŚ. Only one way to find out.
After a stealthy discussion with Polly about how to attract men, she suggested that if you were interested in someone you should try to force his hand by making jealous.
You thought about what you knew about romance from your books and observing people and in theory it should work. Or it would break your heart, at this point it was a necessary gamble.
There was a Peaky get-together at the Garrison to celebrate a rather difficult company achievement. Normally you always wore black because people found it off putting but tonight you pulled out all the stops. You wore lipstick and a red dress. It was equal parts terrifying and liberating.
Initiate operation: Jealous
You walked into the pub and everyone seemed to stop and look you over. You tried not to let it turn your face red, and hung your coat up in a way you hoped looked graceful. The night picked up and the dress seemed to work, people came over and chatted to you and you tried to laugh and seem approachable.
It was horrible, you felt his eyes on you the whole time, and yet he hadn't swooped in and stolen you away. Eventually you could feel him standing at the bar behind you as you spoke to some guy, who was talking your ear off about chemical reactions as if you couldnât run a drug lab on your own. You didnât know how you got on to this topic but you nodded along politely.
It was fine till it wasn't fine. The man grabbed your arm and Tommy immediately turned around and removed it.
âPlease excuse us, sheâs needed elsewhere.â Tommy said curtly, causing the man to turn deathly pale. He grabbed your arm moving you towards the exit, quickly snatching your coat and tucking it around your shoulders.
He took you outside and paused for a second, but didnât take his hand off your arm. He let out an angry sigh like he was conflicted.
âProblem?â You asked in what you hoped was a flirty voice. He gave you a pained expression.
âHave a drink with me?â He asked in a rough tone.
âSureâ You expected him to take you back inside but instead he pulled you back to the betting shop. Your heart was going at record speed and you desperately tried to play it cool.
He unlocked the door and took you into his office. His hand never left your arm but his mind was somewhere far away. He placed you in the usual chair you sat in and handed you a glass of whiskey. He perched on the edge of his desk, almost close enough to touch.
âI have some interesting intel.â He refused to look at you, suddenly captivated by the wall paper like heâd never actually noticed it. You appreciated this because you fought hard to keep your face composed as your heart broke slowly in your chest.
âWhatâs needed?â You asked softly, also suddenly captivated by the wall paper.
âYou need to understand that Iâm too old for you, too dangerous, and it's never going to happen.â You felt like the words caused him physical pain despite his cold composure.
âInteresting.â You thought about what Polly had told you about his wife that had passed.
âNot terribly.â He stated.
âYouâre older than me, but not any smarter, Iâm already tied into every decision you make. I think it will happen if I want it toâ
He gave you one of those rare smiles.
âBut if you rather me go, I still might be able to catch Mr. Science down at the pub.â You stood up and watched his amusement fade into something darker.
âPeople will talk.â He warned. You met his eyes and felt the torment pulsing through him.
âThey already do.â You took a step closer, finally eliminating the space between the two of you.
âFuck!â He snapped before grabbing your face roughly and kissing you. It was slow, soft and you felt the restraint running taught in his body. But youâd been restrained your whole life. You trusted Tommy for the right reasons, you trusted for the first time. You were touch starved, and soft wasn't going to cut it.
So you pushed a little to see what it would get you.
You pressed your body closer to him, and he stood up, tilting your face up, deepening the kiss. You pressed your chest up against his, the sensation of his hard chest against your sore breasts made you moan into his mouth. He took that as an opening to slide his tongue into your mouth. You tried to mirror his movements and wanted to pick this up quickly like you did everything else. You wanted to be good for him.
He broke the kiss and gave you a heated but amused look.
âYou haven't done this before.â It wasn't a question and your face flushed in embarrassment.
âI haven't liked anyone before.â you breathed as he held your head there, looking up at him.
âWe should stop.â He whispered.
âYou're not exactly the best loverâ You stated. You watched his smile come back, eyebrows raised questioningly. âYou haven't asked me once what I would like.â
âHmm thatâs what would make me a good lover, eh?â His hand on the back of your neck tightened, as he moved his other to stroke his fingers down your neck. This was a pleasure you didn't think existed in real life. Your body was on fire, every part of it suddenly too tight.
âYes.â The word just barely escaped your lips.
âWhat would you like, love?â He whispered in your ear, his fingers brushed along your collarbone.
âFuck me on your desk.â Your tone was just above begging but not by much. He scoffed.
âNo. I'm not going to fuck you tonight, certainly not over my desk.â Your body tensed up, you didnât think you would survive if this ended. You needed him, you needed some kind of relief from this heat. You just didn't know how to get there.
âI will, however, go back to yours and see where things go?â
You nodded eagerly and he observed you in a way that stung your heart. He saw something he wanted, you hoped it was more than your body.
Your apartment was not fuck your boss ready. You let him in and rushed into your room. After a 10 second panic clean, most of the embarrassing stuff had been relocated to your closet.
You came back and saw him observing your space quietly. Books and notes were piled over every surface. It was very clean, just very busy. You had a lot you wanted to learn and only a short life to know it all.
Finally his eyes fell on you, your body lit up, and your heart was pounding again. He quickly closed the distance between you. His mouth was on yours again but this kiss was filled with a different type of need.
Slowly you were wearing him down.
He pressed you against the wall in the kitchen. His strong hands traveled the length of your torso eventually coming to rest on your ass. With a tense squeeze you felt him lift you slightly and your body responded by jumping up. Legs wrapped tightly around his toned body. This gave you access to grind up against him, lighting a whole wave of pleasure through you. You moaned and he left your mouth to bite his way down your neck, each one sending shocks through your system. Your breathing was heavy and everything was hazy. He held you tightly and moved you towards your room bumping into various piles of books causing you to laugh loudly. You hoped you hadn't ruined the mood, but he only threw you down on your bed.
Things were about to get serious. Suddenly the nerves hit you. Youâd only read about this a million times in books, but now it was real. As if knowing he settled down on top of you, kissing you with a tenderness that made you want to cry out. Suddenly you didn't care if you weren't good at it, you just needed it.
His hands ran up the insides of your legs, finally coming up to rest just before your pussy.
âYou're not wearing anything.â His fingers grazed across your wetness and your whole body tensed.
âNope.â
âYou really wanted your first time to be bent over my desk?â
This was not the time for questions. But his hands kept up their exploration sliding through your wet folds so you allowed it.
âI just really wanted you. Didn't really care where.â You said it through gritted teeth as you tried to find a way to settle into the sensations.
âAll of this just to get my attention.â
You nodded while taking ragged breaths. He circled your clit and your hips bucked.
âThat means that another man touched you, while you were completely indecent.â His other hand placed a smack on the back of your thigh and you let out a small scream of pleasure. This was too much but nowhere near enough. âNo one touches you but me. Understood?â
You couldnât find words, the pause earned you another small slap. That seemed to be a form of punishment, too bad it only did the opposite.
âWhat would you do if they did?â You gasped and he growled.
âIâd kill them.â He responded darkly and you felt his fingers slide inside you. You let out a little cry at the stretch. âThis is mine.â His fingers curled inside you causing you to scream out.
âIâm yours.â You said and he picked up his pace quickly rewarding you with an orgasm. It hit you like a truck, suddenly and completely. Your whole body tensed and your legs squeezed shut around his waist trapping his fingers where you needed him. Eventually it was too much and you tried to squirm away.
âToo much.â You choked and he stopped, you moved so you were laying properly on the small bed. He just took you in, flushed and strug out for him.
âGo out with me tomorrow.â He asked and you enjoyed the way the words came out of his mouth, like they were heavy. His blue eyes blown out.
âOnly if you stay tonight.â You said and you watched him try to compose himself but failed.
âIâll stay. But Iâm doing this properly. I donât want this to be a quick fuck.â Your heart grew and twisted at his words. Tears stung your eyes. Even if you had the words you wouldn't be able to get them out.
---------------
Tommyâs POV
She was chaos and madness wrapped up in a tight little body. It took everything inside me to stop. Hold back. To court her properly.
Here she was ready to give me everything when no one had ever given her the decency of friendship. Or a nice date.
Sheâd been labeled as a whore without ever having kissed anyone.
She couldn't even get a fucking job, yet she could have won the war in half the time had she been running things. She was smart, too fucking smart, and awkward as all hell. Even her house was a chaotic storm of knowledge, probably filled with the answers to the universe and cures for various illnesses.
She spent her day bringing my family tea and their favorite snacks when they were sad. Hours of horrible jokes till Iâd finally give her a smile, just to watch her face light up in triumph.
As much as I wanted to rip that dress off and have my way with her, I wanted her to have a nice romance like the ones she spent all day reading.
I would make sure she only fell in love once, so I would bloody well make every last bit of it special.
She spent the night wrapped in my arms where Iâd want her to be every night till I died.

Finding a decent job in Small Heath was challenging.
Youâd grown up with a thick coating of anxiety that wrapped around you tightly. You were smart, but the pressure of situations would leave words tangled in your mouth, your stomach would twist up, face flushing, and more often than not you would say something embarrassing. Then suddenly you had a tight body and heavy breasts that only made things worse. The girls got even more mean, and the boys were relentless.
You were excellent in maths, sciences, writing & reading, you spoke four languages, to survive here looking like you did you had plenty of street smarts, and an excellent sense of humor.

âGood heavens woman, you want the whole world to know your business?!â She left you standing in the entryway and floated back to her desk. She lit a cigarette and looked you over.
âI didn't think whores worked this early in the morning.â Her eyes narrowed and you took a deep breath. It was too early in the morning for this petty shit.
âI wouldn't know.â She scoffed and Thomas walked into the space from the back door.
âYou're on time!â He said motioning you towards his office.
âAlways amâ You said with the brightest smile you could manage.
You sat across from his desk in a comfortable leather chair. Happy that your fingers were nowhere near the drawers.
âSo Miss L/N. Big winnings yesterday at the race.â He lit a cigarette and took a long drag. âThen you cleaned out two rounds of poker.â You shivered under the weight of his heavy gaze.
âYes.â You literally watched him watch you do it so there was no point in denying anything.
âLike the past three race days.â His voice was dark and should send millions of alarm bells off in your head but you couldn't help but focus on his mouth. You slapped yourself mentally.
âThat would be correct.â You said with a steady voice.
âHow?â
You explained almost everything. You wouldn't give up your method of card counting or the mental math processes behind any other gambling you did. But you explained how you had put the pieces together about which horse was going to win. Explained what your father heard on the street, mixed with what you heard the men talk about at his restaurant, then what you knew of the local gangs and the politics of Small Heath.
âSo most things just follow a pattern, you just need to know where to look. And listen I guess.â He watched you closely the whole time, his eyes were sharp like he was trying to catch you in a lie.
âAnd you just happen to be good at looking and listening?â
âI would say I do a good job, yeahâ You gave a little nod.
âWhat else are you good at?â Your nose crinkled at his words, youâd heard similar things out of peoples mouths countless times and most of them had sexual intentions. He seemed to catch your reaction, and almost seemed the slightest bit empathetic. âAre you good at maths? What are you doing for work right now?â He clarified smoothly.
âYou already know Iâm excellent at maths, but I am also good with language arts, sciences, and I am fluent in English, Russian, and German. I currently bartend at my fathers restaurant three nights a week.â You also spoke Romani but figured youâd keep that in your back pocket as you knew they were gypsy. If this became a regular interrogation they would probably speak it behind your back.
âWhy do you work for your father?â
âWould you believe me if I told you this was the smoothest conversation Iâd had with someone not related to me?â
âYesâ He almost smiled. You shrugged.
âWhy German and Russian?â He asked, you didn't blame him for asking, they weren't romantic languages and they certainly were not welcome in today's political climate.
âMy grandmother was Russian and I picked it up when I was little before she passed.â
âAnd German?â His eyes narrowed ever so slightly and you sighed.
âItâs embarrassing.â You felt your face get hot but he only raised an eyebrow prompting you to continue. âThere was a book series I wanted to read and it was only in German, so a friend taught me in school.â
âLieâ He said quickly.
You let out another sigh and you could feel he was enjoying this.
âI didn't have friends in school. I taught myself so I could read the books. Iâm currently working on picking up French.â You answered sheepishly and he gave you a small smile that hit you deep in your stomach.
He didn't know that German was the only common language your father didn't know, and the books were filthy enough to have you sent to a nunnery for the rest of your life.
âYour father was in France?â
âYes.â
âYour mother?â
âDied of a sickness while he was away.â You answered tightly, he didn't need to know more about that. No one did. He poured you a glass of whiskey and you accepted it with a thanks.
âYou kept the books and the restaurant while he was gone.â
âYesâ
âHow old are you?â
â20â His gaze turned darker somehow and you flushed again. âIs that a problem?â
âNoâ
He looked you over like he wasn't sure what to think of you. After a long moment you realized this was the nicest conversation youâd had with someone outside of your family. He listened to you and kept his eyes on your face, like he actually cared about what you had to say. Different feelings made their way into your body as you considered the dangerous man in front of you.
âWork for me. Be here at 8am, Tuesday to Saturday. Iâll pay you the going rate for a bookkeeper but I'll double it in three months if you use your talents for some extra work on the side.â
You were shocked but your face fell at the last sentence.
âTalents being the ones we discussedâ He said in a pointed tone.
Your face lit back up.
âNone of this is legal is it?â You said with a twinkle that caught him off guard.
âWe are working towards it.â He said sternly, but you only let out a laugh. You couldnât believe your luck.
âDone.â You reached out your hand which seemed to amuse him. He shook it and you felt electricity run through your skin. You wanted this job just as much as you wanted to know him.
After that the woman who opened the door for you was instructed to show you everything about the place. Which led to a yelling match and some kind of special family meeting.
You came back the next day to be properly introduced to the family. The boys took the piss like they always did whenever you thought you deserved some respect. Thomas seemed to have said something to have kept them relatively in check.
The women were mean like always. Polly, the woman who answered the door yesterday, was not impressed with your employment, but you were fairly sure you could win her over with time. Esme seemed to distance herself from you and that was fine enough. You came here to work, not make friends.
You just smiled at them brightly, too excited at the opportunity for their emotions to get in the way of it.
Quality of life improved immediately. People still thought the same shit about you but no one would say it to your face out of fear of your employers. Money was fucking good. You soon had your own little apartment close to the shop. Your father wasn't happy about the arrangement but he was happy to see you doing better.
Once youâd proved yourself useful to Polly she became the closest thing to a friend youâd had. Esme took a little bit longer but you assumed it had more to do with the way John looked at you in passing. Eventually she came around and even apologized to you.
Friends. A job. All you needed was Tommy.
You assumed being brought into the darker parts of the job, the feelings for him would lessen. But it only got worse.
You couldn't help it. The man looked at you like you were a secret weapon. He brought you to sit in on business meetings to observe men, then go on your way digging shit up on them. You cracked coded letters, caught snitches, rigged races.
You spent a considerable amount of time with him. You helped with the books, managed his schedule, and attended various stake outs. He always showed up with a look of amazement, that on top of all of it you still had time to slack off reading your novels, and all those little passing looks went straight to your heart.
You were desperate for him to make a move, heck every man in the bloody city had been after your ass since you were 11. Now that you want the attention you couldn't have it.
Dressing yourself up wasnât practical with the type of side work you did. So you just tried to impress him. Useless facts, jokes to try and make him laugh, you tried to cheer him up when he was in a mood, always trying to outdo yourself at the tasks he gave you.
You did the same for his family, always trying to be helpful, you took especially good care of the little ones. Finn regularly came to you for advice. It all made you hopeful that maybe you could fit in here permanently.
He always gave you praise and the occasional smile, but never a desperate confession, or an act of passion. He wouldn't let other men touch you in his presence, something you thought was unbearably hot. But you speculated it could also be that he thought of you as a little sisterâŚ. Only one way to find out.
After a stealthy discussion with Polly about how to attract men, she suggested that if you were interested in someone you should try to force his hand by making jealous.
You thought about what you knew about romance from your books and observing people and in theory it should work. Or it would break your heart, at this point it was a necessary gamble.
There was a Peaky get-together at the Garrison to celebrate a rather difficult company achievement. Normally you always wore black because people found it off putting but tonight you pulled out all the stops. You wore lipstick and a red dress. It was equal parts terrifying and liberating.
Initiate operation: Jealous
You walked into the pub and everyone seemed to stop and look you over. You tried not to let it turn your face red, and hung your coat up in a way you hoped looked graceful. The night picked up and the dress seemed to work, people came over and chatted to you and you tried to laugh and seem approachable.
It was horrible, you felt his eyes on you the whole time, and yet he hadn't swooped in and stolen you away. Eventually you could feel him standing at the bar behind you as you spoke to some guy, who was talking your ear off about chemical reactions as if you couldnât run a drug lab on your own. You didnât know how you got on to this topic but you nodded along politely.
It was fine till it wasn't fine. The man grabbed your arm and Tommy immediately turned around and removed it.
âPlease excuse us, sheâs needed elsewhere.â Tommy said curtly, causing the man to turn deathly pale. He grabbed your arm moving you towards the exit, quickly snatching your coat and tucking it around your shoulders.
He took you outside and paused for a second, but didnât take his hand off your arm. He let out an angry sigh like he was conflicted.
âProblem?â You asked in what you hoped was a flirty voice. He gave you a pained expression.
âHave a drink with me?â He asked in a rough tone.
âSureâ You expected him to take you back inside but instead he pulled you back to the betting shop. Your heart was going at record speed and you desperately tried to play it cool.
He unlocked the door and took you into his office. His hand never left your arm but his mind was somewhere far away. He placed you in the usual chair you sat in and handed you a glass of whiskey. He perched on the edge of his desk, almost close enough to touch.
âI have some interesting intel.â He refused to look at you, suddenly captivated by the wall paper like heâd never actually noticed it. You appreciated this because you fought hard to keep your face composed as your heart broke slowly in your chest.
âWhatâs needed?â You asked softly, also suddenly captivated by the wall paper.
âYou need to understand that Iâm too old for you, too dangerous, and it's never going to happen.â You felt like the words caused him physical pain despite his cold composure.
âInteresting.â You thought about what Polly had told you about his wife that had passed.
âNot terribly.â He stated.
âYouâre older than me, but not any smarter, Iâm already tied into every decision you make. I think it will happen if I want it toâ
He gave you one of those rare smiles.
âBut if you rather me go, I still might be able to catch Mr. Science down at the pub.â You stood up and watched his amusement fade into something darker.
âPeople will talk.â He warned. You met his eyes and felt the torment pulsing through him.
âThey already do.â You took a step closer, finally eliminating the space between the two of you.
âFuck!â He snapped before grabbing your face roughly and kissing you. It was slow, soft and you felt the restraint running taught in his body. But youâd been restrained your whole life. You trusted Tommy for the right reasons, you trusted for the first time. You were touch starved, and soft wasn't going to cut it.
So you pushed a little to see what it would get you.
You pressed your body closer to him, and he stood up, tilting your face up, deepening the kiss. You pressed your chest up against his, the sensation of his hard chest against your sore breasts made you moan into his mouth. He took that as an opening to slide his tongue into your mouth. You tried to mirror his movements and wanted to pick this up quickly like you did everything else. You wanted to be good for him.
He broke the kiss and gave you a heated but amused look.
âYou haven't done this before.â It wasn't a question and your face flushed in embarrassment.
âI haven't liked anyone before.â you breathed as he held your head there, looking up at him.
âWe should stop.â He whispered.
âYou're not exactly the best loverâ You stated. You watched his smile come back, eyebrows raised questioningly. âYou haven't asked me once what I would like.â
âHmm thatâs what would make me a good lover, eh?â His hand on the back of your neck tightened, as he moved his other to stroke his fingers down your neck. This was a pleasure you didn't think existed in real life. Your body was on fire, every part of it suddenly too tight.
âYes.â The word just barely escaped your lips.
âWhat would you like, love?â He whispered in your ear, his fingers brushed along your collarbone.
âFuck me on your desk.â Your tone was just above begging but not by much. He scoffed.
âNo. I'm not going to fuck you tonight, certainly not over my desk.â Your body tensed up, you didnât think you would survive if this ended. You needed him, you needed some kind of relief from this heat. You just didn't know how to get there.
âI will, however, go back to yours and see where things go?â
You nodded eagerly and he observed you in a way that stung your heart. He saw something he wanted, you hoped it was more than your body.
Your apartment was not fuck your boss ready. You let him in and rushed into your room. After a 10 second panic clean, most of the embarrassing stuff had been relocated to your closet.
You came back and saw him observing your space quietly. Books and notes were piled over every surface. It was very clean, just very busy. You had a lot you wanted to learn and only a short life to know it all.
Finally his eyes fell on you, your body lit up, and your heart was pounding again. He quickly closed the distance between you. His mouth was on yours again but this kiss was filled with a different type of need.
Slowly you were wearing him down.
He pressed you against the wall in the kitchen. His strong hands traveled the length of your torso eventually coming to rest on your ass. With a tense squeeze you felt him lift you slightly and your body responded by jumping up. Legs wrapped tightly around his toned body. This gave you access to grind up against him, lighting a whole wave of pleasure through you. You moaned and he left your mouth to bite his way down your neck, each one sending shocks through your system. Your breathing was heavy and everything was hazy. He held you tightly and moved you towards your room bumping into various piles of books causing you to laugh loudly. You hoped you hadn't ruined the mood, but he only threw you down on your bed.
Things were about to get serious. Suddenly the nerves hit you. Youâd only read about this a million times in books, but now it was real. As if knowing he settled down on top of you, kissing you with a tenderness that made you want to cry out. Suddenly you didn't care if you weren't good at it, you just needed it.
His hands ran up the insides of your legs, finally coming up to rest just before your pussy.
âYou're not wearing anything.â His fingers grazed across your wetness and your whole body tensed.
âNope.â
âYou really wanted your first time to be bent over my desk?â
This was not the time for questions. But his hands kept up their exploration sliding through your wet folds so you allowed it.
âI just really wanted you. Didn't really care where.â You said it through gritted teeth as you tried to find a way to settle into the sensations.
âAll of this just to get my attention.â
You nodded while taking ragged breaths. He circled your clit and your hips bucked.
âThat means that another man touched you, while you were completely indecent.â His other hand placed a smack on the back of your thigh and you let out a small scream of pleasure. This was too much but nowhere near enough. âNo one touches you but me. Understood?â
You couldnât find words, the pause earned you another small slap. That seemed to be a form of punishment, too bad it only did the opposite.
âWhat would you do if they did?â You gasped and he growled.
âIâd kill them.â He responded darkly and you felt his fingers slide inside you. You let out a little cry at the stretch. âThis is mine.â His fingers curled inside you causing you to scream out.
âIâm yours.â You said and he picked up his pace quickly rewarding you with an orgasm. It hit you like a truck, suddenly and completely. Your whole body tensed and your legs squeezed shut around his waist trapping his fingers where you needed him. Eventually it was too much and you tried to squirm away.
âToo much.â You choked and he stopped, you moved so you were laying properly on the small bed. He just took you in, flushed and strug out for him.
âGo out with me tomorrow.â He asked and you enjoyed the way the words came out of his mouth, like they were heavy. His blue eyes blown out.
âOnly if you stay tonight.â You said and you watched him try to compose himself but failed.
âIâll stay. But Iâm doing this properly. I donât want this to be a quick fuck.â Your heart grew and twisted at his words. Tears stung your eyes. Even if you had the words you wouldn't be able to get them out.
---------------
Tommyâs POV
She was chaos and madness wrapped up in a tight little body. It took everything inside me to stop. Hold back. To court her properly.
Here she was ready to give me everything when no one had ever given her the decency of friendship. Or a nice date.
Sheâd been labeled as a whore without ever having kissed anyone.
She couldn't even get a fucking job, yet she could have won the war in half the time had she been running things. She was smart, too fucking smart, and awkward as all hell. Even her house was a chaotic storm of knowledge, probably filled with the answers to the universe and cures for various illnesses.
She spent her day bringing my family tea and their favorite snacks when they were sad. Hours of horrible jokes till Iâd finally give her a smile, just to watch her face light up in triumph.
As much as I wanted to rip that dress off and have my way with her, I wanted her to have a nice romance like the ones she spent all day reading.
I would make sure she only fell in love once, so I would bloody well make every last bit of it special.
She spent the night wrapped in my arms where Iâd want her to be every night till I died.

Easing the Tension - Tommy Shelby X Fem!Reader
Prompt - "Why're you looking at me like that?"
For @runnning-outof-time and her epic Milestone Challenge!
Warning - enemies to lovers / smut
Taglist @queenshelby @margoo0 @being-worthy @peakyscillian @peakyciills @janelongxox @elenavampire21 @ysmmsy @cloudofdisney @lauren-raines-x @misscarolineshelby @screemqueen @peaky-cillian @misselsbells06 @datewithgianni @heidimoreton @jardinsecos @bitchwhytho @gypsy-girl-08 @queenofkings1212 @look-at-the-soul
He was always a dick as a teenager. The biggest dick you knew. All the way through your childhood he relentlessly teased you, mocked you, gave you weird looks as he walked past you. A dick, yes. A handsome, enigmatic, charismatic dick who had a hold over you he'd never know.
But since he returned from France, you noticed a change. A dramatic change. Not all the time, and certainly not when he was around his family, but when he was alone in his office at the betting shop on Watery Lane? You noticed.
You started working there when the boys left for war. Polly Gray was looking for someone to help look after the books. You were skilled in numeracy thanks to your father being a mathematics teacher, and you were one of the few people, especially women, in Small Heath who could read and write.
You'd proven your worth, and successfully earned the trust of the Shelby boys when they returned from war six months ago. Tommy, despite not being the eldest, had taken a strong lead in the family. Owed in part to his leadership in France, outranking both brothers. Arthur wasn't happy, but even he couldn't deny his younger brother was a born leader.
And you? You found yourself looking at Tommy more often. He was different. He no longer teased you or mocked you. He no longer gave you weird looks. In fact, he didn't look at you at all. He didn't look at anyone anymore. Not properly, anyway. It was as though there were walls up, barriers. Blockades that not even Polly could penetrate. He'd built a fortress around himself, and no one had the keys to unlock it.
You slept at their house on numerous occasions due to Polly's penchant for getting you drunk on a Friday night, listening to the gramophone while the two of you and Ada danced like idiots around the living room. The boys would be at the Garrison, and would stumble home at midnight before collapsing into their beds. Your bed was in a tiny box room next to Tommy's, and you often heard him wake, screaming, two or three times in the night. Despite how he'd treated you before the war, you wished you had the courage to go into his room. Hold him, calm him... But you never did. You just lay there, listening to him, waiting for the quiet so you knew he was sleeping again.
Only to wake another hour later.
And again an hour after that.
His room had an outside wall one side, and your bedroom the other. No one else would've heard him. And he would have no idea that you knew, either.
************************************************************
In the early hours of Saturday morning, you realised sleep was impossible. A combination of the whiskey last night and the disturbed sleep listening to Tommy's nightmares.
You sat at the kitchen table alone with a coffee around 3:30am. The rest of the house was still fast asleep.
Tommy entered the kitchen, but he didn't say anything. Walked past you to the cabinet and poured a whiskey for himself. Silently sipping it as he stood at the counter, his back to you. You couldn't take your eyes off him, the stiffness of his back, the rigidness of his shoulders. The tension simply radiated from him.
"Why're you looking at me like that?" He asked, suddenly, still not turning around.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare..."
"You always stare at me. You look at me like I'm some kind of wounded dog waiting to be put out of my misery."
You didn't answer, but you didn't stop staring either. You couldn't.
He turned around, and his eyes locked with yours.
"You're too tense to sleep, aren't you?" you asked, he didn't respond.
"Sit down, Thomas," you stood up and offered him your seat. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion but you weren't letting up so he sat down. You stretched your hands and fingers, before gently placing them either side of his neck. He flinched at the contact, before your voice shhed him and your fingers began to press into his shoulders.
After a few minutes, you felt him relax. Your hands rolled over his shoulders and neck, squeezing and kneading the flesh. His head lolled forwards, allowing you easier access to his muscles at the bottom of his neck.
"It's easier if you remove your shirt?" You commented, a slight smile on your lips as he lifted the garment over his head. Your fingers went back to work, kneading and pressing everywhere you felt a knot.
"Scars and freckles, interesting combination," you smirked. His shoulders jumped as he chuckled, soon replaced by a deep groan as you found an exceptionally sized knot in his spine, unravelling it with your knuckles easily.
"Your hands are fucking magical," he leaned forward and your hands moved lower, almost to his waist. He was now leaning over the table, his head resting in his arms as your hands squeezed his flesh expertly. After thirty minutes, he was breathing easier, calmer, he could've been asleep... You stopped and taking a seat next to him stroked over his cheek gently. His eyes fluttered open, and they found yours again. The walls were down, and you saw them properly for the first time. An innocent blue replacing their usual intense darkness.
"Do you want to talk about it?" You asked quietly, still stroking his cheek. He shook his head.
"Do you want to go back to bed?" He nodded, and you took his hand. He let you lead the way, and you opened his bedroom door. Heading inside, he climbed in and you went to place the covers over him before he stopped you.
"Stay with me..." He whispered. You went to protest, but the gentle grip on your wrist told you it was a battle you'd lose anyway. You climbed into the single bed next to him and he opened his arm for you to lay on, the pillow too small for two heads. The feel of his hand stroking your arm, his lips against your forehead, the heat of his breath against your skin. You found yourself looking upwards at him, and after a few moments of visible contemplation on his face, he kissed you. A soft, gentle kiss that you found surprisingly easy to reciprocate.
His hand held your cheek tenderly as the kiss deepened. His tongue gently sweeping across yours. Your body was moving of its own accord now, and you were suddenly on top of him. Straddled over his mid section, you could feel the hard length of his arousal pressed between your legs.
"YN..."
"Shh, don't talk, just lay back. Let me ease the last of that tension away..."
Your nightgown already hitched over your waist, you reached down and slid his shorts down. Sliding your panties to one side, you rolled your folds over his shaft. Watching his face contort in pleasure, your wet folds glided over him easily. Reaching between you, you stood his cock upright and sank onto him slowly. His hands moved to your waist, trying to take control, but you pulled them away.
"Not tonight," you gasped, feeling him fill you completely. Buried deep inside your wet walls.
Your hips rolled back and forth, a steady, gentle but firm rhythm, and you had no intention of speeding up.
"That's it... Relax Tommy..."
"One day I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything," he said, rolling his nose affectionately over yours.
He was silent other than his breathing - heavy but calm. He didn't move, allowing you full control. His hands holding yours as you used them for leverage. Your head fell back as his cock found that sweet spot inside, and you focussed your hip movements to keep it hitting that same spot over and over. Not too fast, just a gentle rocking motion that had his abdomen clenching, you could feel his cock throbbing inside you letting you know he was close.
"Not yet Tommy, not just yet.. I'll let you cum, just hold on for me..."
"I always have..."
You looked down and met his gaze again, his eyes moving from your face, down your still clothed body, and back up again. The flickering of his eyelids had you coming undone, his mouth hanging open slightly, deep breaths from his lips. You felt your orgasm building, and rocked your hips just a little quicker.
"Cum for me Tommy..."
He nodded, and his eyes squeezed shut, a low groan leaving his chest, his toned stomach clenching, his fingers locked with yours. His eyes flew open suddenly with the force of his release, locked onto yours as you came with him, his seed filling you sending you over into the abyss.
Once you'd calmed, and his cock finished pulsing, you climbed off him and lay back at his side, his arm over your shoulders again as you snuggled into his chest. Your fingers tracing over his chest, watching the rise and fall of it as his breathing calmed.
"You really are magical..." He smiled, kissing the top of you r head.
"Why?"
"I don't hear the shovels..."
You looked up at him and stroked his cheek, kissing his lips tenderly.
"Why me?"
"Because you're the only one who noticed."

âWell, God, Finn, thatâs the third time this week!â
The lad smiled at you, convinced that, if he were sweet enough, he would be out of trouble. Both of the knees of his pants were ripped and scuffed thin, and you could even see the fresh stitches from two days ago, when he had last come home with his pants all ripped up. âSorry,â he said, and he fell down into one of the overstuffed seats in your living room. As much as you tried to keep a nice home, your husbandâs brothers and employees always managed to find a way to foul it all up one way or another. You tsk-ed as you fixed the doily atop the chair that Finn had disturbed, and you called, âTommy, love? Bring me my sewing kit, wonât you?â
Somewhere upstairs, you heard your husband shout âJust a moment!â, and you tugged up your sleeves to your elbows as you settled yourself on the floor in front of Finn.
âMake yourself useful and read me the paper,â you grumbled. âOr turn on the radio. Something productive instead of sitting on your arse.â
âI could just take my pants off and leave them to you while I go actually do something,â Finn offered, and you heard Tommyâs footsteps coming down the stairs. Quickly, he entered the room and passed you your carpetbag of sewing supplies, and he boxed at Finnâs ear.
âLike hell youâre stripping down in front of my woman,â Tommy said. âNot even your girl wants to see your skivvies.â
âWell, fuck you,â Finn said, and he hissed as Tommy gave him another wallop on the ear. âOi! She curses worse than that!â
âMind your fucking manners around the missus,â Tommy said, and he snatched up the newspaper from beside Finn. You deftly threaded your needle and pulled Finnâs leg over to you, and you heard Tommy light a cigarette as he sat down in his chair.
âStop twitching your leg,â you mumbled as you began your work, and Finn fussed with his cigarette as you fell into the pattern of sewing. As much as you acted like you hated having to mother the entire Shelby clan, you actually loved it. You loved how every man needed you for something different and expressed their affection for you in different ways; sure, there was Aunt Pol for that feminine touch, but there seemed to be something special about you. During the year that Tommy had courted and subsequently married you, all the boys had started up a running joke of calling you Mother; mainly because you treated every single man as if they were your son.You patched up all their injuries and mended their clothing, you made them tea or poured them a drink when they visited the house, you gave them the spare bedroom if they had nowhere to sleep, and it could be guaranteed that someone would join you at the dinner table every single night, hounding after your warm, hard-cooked dinner. You wouldnât trade the title for anything in the world (especially when they called you Mother Shelby or The Missus), but you felt a little off whenever they did call you that. Only because it had been a year, and you still hadnât succeeded in giving Tommy a baby.
It wasnât for lack of trying. Almost every day, Tommy would fuck you hard and fill you up, but nothing had succeeded yet. You had tried just about every trick you could think of, every old wivesâ tale in the bookâ eating a lemon, putting a pillow under your hips, having sex only in the morningâ and you were starting to wonder if there was something wrong with you. Surely, after a year, something should have happened, even on a statistical level. It just didnât make sense. In fact, the absence of a baby was starting to eat at you. You had voiced this to your husband, and he, in his wisdom, had told you that it would happen eventually and not to worry. âItâll happen when it needs to,â he told you, kissing your shoulder. âDonât fret, love.â
Tommy read the newspaper and smoked his cigarette as you worked, but your mind stayed solely with him and the delicious memory of that morning. He had woken you up with two fingers in your cunt and, when he noticed that you were awake, he had sunk down and buried his head between your thighs until your legs were shaking around his head. The sun was hardly coming through the lace curtains by the time that Tommy had sunk his cock into you, and the low light made his sweaty chest glisten as he hauled your legs over his shoulders and fucked you hard enough to make the headboard rattle against the wall. âCâmon,â he huffed, slapping your ass and pawing at your tits. âCum, honey, cum for me, make a big fuckinâ mess in my cock.â You did as he had told you, as you always did, and Tommy had wasted no time in filling you up, just as he always did. He fell down onto his back next to you and huffed out a few labored breaths as you rested your cheek against his burning chest, and he cast his big blue eyes down on you when you sighed. âHey,â Tommy whispered, his voice cracking, as rough as sandpaper, and he lifted your chin up with his finger. âI know what youâre thinking, love. I feel good about this one.â
You nodded quietly, and your finger lightly traced the scars that had healed and leveled on his chest. âIf itâs a girl, Iâd like to name her Edith,â you whispered. âItâs a lovely name.â
âEdith Violet,â Tommy nodded. âEdith Violet Shelby⌠What a fuckinâ top-notch name. Sheâd be a spoiled little thing, Iâd be sure of it. And if itâs a boy?â
âThomas,â you replied. âIâd name him after you.â
Tommy sighed lightly, content, and he sealed his lips to yours in a kiss. His arms went around your shoulders and held you tight in his warm, sweaty, post-sex-hazy grasp as he kissed you hard. âGod, what a thing that would be,â Tommy whispered into your mouth. âHaving a little critter running around with my name⌠I love it.â
Looking at your husband from across the parlor, you could tell that his mind was too laid with Edith Violet and Thomas Junior. He seemed to be reading the newspaper, yes, but his eyes werenât moving nor his mouth mumbling along. You quickly finished with Finnâs pants, and you looked at the young man. âNow, youâd better keep those out of my sight for at least a week,â you told him. âIf I see those pants again, Iâm going to go mad, do you hear me?â
âYes, Mother,â Finn said and rolled his eyes, but he kissed your head nevertheless. âThank you.â
âOf course, darling,â you said. âDo you wanna take some roast home with you? Itâs supposed to get cold tonight.â
âIâll be alright, Miss,â Finn said, and he offered you his hand to aid in standing up. âIâll see you tomorrow. TommyâŚâ Tommy gave an indiscernible grunt towards Finn and flipped the page of the newspaper, and Finn made his way out of the house. You waited until he was fully gone, the front door closing with certainty, before you moved to Tommy and sat down easily on his thigh. Tommy gave you a little smile and cast his reading material aside, and he circled his arms around your waist and pulled you fully into his lap. His face buried in your neck and kissed all over your skin, and he mumbled, âBeen waiting to get you alone all day.â
âIâm here, my love,â you whispered, carding your fingers through his slick black hair. âWhat is it you want?â
âWellâŚâ Tommy began, and his deft fingers played at the buttons lining the back of your blouse. âRight now, I feel quite partial to your tits.â
âGood Christ, Thomas Shelby, youâre insatiable,â you chuckled. Nevertheless, you helped him shrug yourself out of your shirt, and he pressed his cheek against your warm breast. His hand, hot hands slid up your bare back and cupped your shoulders, and he placed light kisses on your skin.
âLift up your skirt, honey,â Tommy said against your tits.
âWhat for?â you asked cheekily, and Tommy bit at your nipple hard enough to make you gasp in pain.
âYouâre going to ride my cock,â Tommy told you, as if you had no say in the matter. Truthfully, you really didnât, because you knew that Tommy knew that youâd never refuse him any part of you. You were always so welcome to give your husband whatever he wished. âSeeing you be so good to Finn just reminds me of what a good mother youâll be⌠If nothing else, Iâm gonna fill you up right now, just to see if we might be lucky.â
âI thought you said you felt lucky this morning,â you said, but you helped Tommy tug up your long skirt anyway. Your hands went to undo his pants as his came to grasp your tits, and he kissed your neck greedily.
âAh, wonât hurt anything to try again,â he whispered, and he sank his teeth into your skin. Your skin bristled at the feel, and you hurried to tug out his cock. He was already hard, his soft skin thrumming with his heavy pulse, and you shifted your legs to straddle his hard thigh for just a moment before you sank yourself onto him. The shock that rocked through your belly and pussy was enough to make you gasp and squirm a bit, and you wrapped your arms around Tommyâs neck and pressed your forehead to his shoulder.
âFuck, Tommy,â you whispered as his rough hands went under your skirt to grasp your soft hips.
âAh,â he hissed in your ear and gently nibbled at your earlobe, where your earring dangled nicely. Tommy always found a way to spoil you, with new dresses or jewelry or trips to the cinema, and he nudged the tip of his nose against the pearl that hung from your ear. He couldnât even remember when or where he gave you those earrings, but they looked beautiful on you. âGod, youâre so tight, mouse⌠Feel so fucking good.â
Your hips jolted forward at his quiet praise, and you both gave little noises of pleasure. Your skin felt like it was on fire as you moved in Tommyâs lap, and he dug his blunt fingernails into your skin as he hooked his hips upwards into you. Just as swiftly, he covered your mouth with his palm and touched his finger to his own lips, and he whispered, âArthurâs upstairs⌠Donât want him hearing us, do we, Mrs. Shelby?â You shook your head and Tommy gave you his sly, foxy smile before scrunching his nose and fucking up into you again. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath through your nose, and you moved with your husband as he fucked you as hard as he could manage. The chair underneath him creaked every so often with his movements, and the sound of his skin hitting yours was just so dulled by your skirt covering the whole affair. Eventually, his warm hand fell from your mouth and situated itself back under your skirt. However, instead of going to your hip, his hand found himself at the apex of your legs, and he pressed his thumb to the top of your hole, feeling his cock easily sliding in and out of you with the pad of his finger. He smiled again and wet his lips with his tongue, and he surged forward and captured your nipple in his wet mouth once more. This time, he sucked hard, surely leaving a mark, and your own hands scrambled for his shirt. You helped him get undressed every night (not that you needed to, but you adored helping your man), and you were quick to get rid of his stiff collar and tight tie to unbutton his shirt and vest to expose his smooth, milky chest, dotted by the same freckles that covered his cheeks and neck. He was panting as he sucked at your tit, and his thumb resituated from your pussy to your throbbing clit. He hardly swiped his finger along the burning-hot nerve when you jostled in his lap once more, fire exploding in your pussy and belly.
âTommy,â you whined, pressing your mouth to his hair to try to keep yourself quiet. âFuck, Tommy. Fuck me, honey, more.â
âMâgonna give you that fuckinâ son you want, mouse,â Tommy grunted, tugging at your nipple with his teeth. âIn a few months, youâre gonna get all big with my baby, everyoneâll know what you let me do to you.â
âThey already know,â you giggled. It was a struggle to speak coherently with the way that Tommy was rubbing your clit and fucking into that soft spot inside of you, but you knew that, even if you only gave half-formed words, Tommy would be able to read your mind. âEveryone knows how I let you do such sinful things to me. You know⌠I think Arthur heard us the night I let you take my ass.â
Tommy groaned long and low at the memory of that night, and you clenched your pussy around him to elicit a deeper moan. His chest was beginning to flush a bit pink, creeping up his neck, tiny spots of sweat dotting at his temples, and you carded your fingers gently through his hair and placed a soft kiss on the crown of his head. âAre you going to cum, Mr. Shelby?â you whispered. âOh, Tommy, my love, please come, honey. Wanna feel you dripping out of me, sweetheart, please come.â
His cock throbbed inside you, and you knew that he was so, so close to his release. You smoothed his hair down the back of his head and angled his face up to look at you, and you rolled your hips down to meet his as they came upwards, and you could have sworn that you saw death flicker in your Tommyâs light eyes. âOh, when Iâm pregnant, my tits are gonna get all big,â you whispered, and Tommy gnashed his teeth as his hips moved harder and faster. âMy belly will swell nice and fat, I know youâll be all over me every day and every night. My love, youâll simply become a feral animal around me. Oh, Thomas⌠Imagine little Tommy having your eyes.â
âEdith Violet had better have your eyes,â Tommy huffed with a chuckle. âSheâll be a spitting image of her mother, that girl will be. If sheâs anything like you, Iâll be beating off boys with a club.â âIf little Tommy is anything like you, weâll be in big fucking trouble,â you giggled. âHeâll be a handful the whole time⌠But I wouldnât have anyone elseâs baby.â
Tommy clenched his teeth again and slammed you down hard onto his cock, and you saw stars dot your vision as you came around his cock. Your body convulsed against your will, dragging Tommy into a tight embrace and whimpering in his ear, trying to stay quiet, as he had asked you to, and Tommy grunted deep in his chest and emptied himself inside you. You both breathed heavily for a few moments, trying to recover from the quick and rough fuck, and Tommy pushed your hair behind your ear as a watery smile cam over his pink mouth. âI really feel good about this one,â he chuckled, his hand rising to press against your belly. He gave a soft hiss as the pressure on his cock, still inside of you, and you bit your lip as you nodded in agreement.
âIf this doesnât workâŚâ you began, but Tommy captured your face in his fingers, and he shook his head quickly, his eyes big and glossy.
âIt will,â he said firmly. âYouâve got to be positive about this, mouse. Say it. Say that I just got you pregnant. Say it, Mrs. Shelby.â
You smiled at your husband, and you jokingly rolled your eyes. âYou just got me pregnant, Thomas,â you chuckled. âIn nine months, Iâm going to give you that son you want so badly.â
âWould it be so bad if we had a little girl?â Tommy mumbled, gently rubbing your belly. âTying ribbons up in her hair, playing princess with herââ
âTommy Shelby, are you saying that youâd play princess? Youâve gone soft,â you smiled, and Tommy shifted underneath you to finally pull his softening cock from your heat. He carefully helped you shrug back into your blouse, and his fingers did the buttons back up smoothly.
âI could,â Tommy said. âOnly if I can be the king.â
âYou already are,â you told him, moving to sit on his knee when he finished with your blouse. You crossed your legs at the ankle and began to do his shirt and pants back up, and he captured his cigarette case from the side table and struck a match to light up a fresh fag. âYouâre the king of Birmingham, my love.â
Tommy took a deep drag on his cigarette, and he gave you that sly fox smile again. âFuckinâ A-right I am.â
It took approximately six months to be entirely sure that you were pregnant, and you knew that every day of uncertainty ate up your husbandâs guts. You didnât want to get his hopes up over a measly missed period, though, so you kept quiet about it until you were one hundred percent sure.
The certainty came one morning, the first snowfall of the season. Upon waking up, you found your marriage bed empty, and, seeing the empty hanger on the closet door, you knew that Tommy was already at work. He probably had been since before the sun rose. You sat up, protesting the morning for a few moments, and you finally got out of bed. Your toes touched the floor and you looked downwards in pursuit of your house slippers, and you felt like you had been hit in the face when you saw your stomach pressing at your nightgown. How long had you been like this? Had anyone noticed yet? God forbid if Arthur or Michael saw your pregnant belly before you yourself even noticed it.
Your excitement couldnât be contained, not even long enough to get decent in your house robe.
âTommy!â you cried, racing through the house. Everyone you encountered widened their eyes and then averted their gaze from you, and you again yelled, âTommy! Thomas Shelby, where are you?â
âMy office, mouse!â your husband yelled, and you heard him speak again, softer. You didnât even stop to wonder if someone else was in there with him, possibly for an important business meeting. No, this couldnât wait.
The moment you stepped into his office, you saw Arthur sitting across your husbandâs desk, and Tommy grabbed you tightly and shielded you from Arthurâs view with his own body. âJesus fucking Christ, woman,â he hissed and instantly shrugged off his jacket, draping it around your shoulders and trying to hide the bit of skin that your nightgown didnât cover. âAre you hurt? Whatâs wrong? Iâve got business, mouse, I canâtââ
All you had to do was grab him around his wrist and press his palm to your lower belly, and Tommy, for once in his life, found himself speechless. You watched his face, trying to see any semblance of emotion, and you watched his cheeks go deathly pale before flushing pink. âNo,â he whispered, and a smile split his face. âOh, my beautiful⌠My wife!â He picked you up and kissed your cheek, and he held you tightly as he nestled his own cheek into your neck. âOh, my girl⌠Mother of my childâŚâ
âTommy,â Arthur said gruffly. âFuck is this?â
âShut your fucking mouth,â Tommy snapped. âLet a man be happy his wifeâs pregnant.â

Swimming Lessons
tommy shelby x reader
summary - who knew Charlie's swimming lessons would end up bringing you closer to your aloof husband?
word count - 3,380
warnings - smut, 18+, fluff, arranged marriage trope
requested by anon
A/N - I really loved this request, and I'm not sure I wrote it so nicely because I wanted to include many things...still hope you like it. BTW season 6 was sooo dark, I'm super excited.
Sitting outside the beautiful Arrow House and reading your boring magazine while keeping an eye on your stepson while he took his swimming lessons, you made an observation.
Your husband hated you.
And no, it wasn't an abusive relationship (Good heavens, no. Tommy would never, ever hit a woman. You supposed.) but you were pretty certain that your importance in Tommy Shelby's life was as much as the colourful swimming ring your stepson had just demolished.
A thing of beauty, useless forever.
"Mrs. Shelby?" The young man in the swimming pool in charge of teaching Charlie how to swim called out.
Lifting up your sunglasses over your head, you asked, "Yes?"
"I'm afraid we're going to need another one of these." He said with an unabashed grin as he held up the deflated swimming ring.
So much for wanting to sit back and wallow in self-loathing.
You inwardly knew it was the instructor's excuse to check out your arse, but didn't think much about it. You needed to be around Charlie, period. Flirtatious swimming instructors could stare all they want, but you weren't going anywhere.
You looked around for a maid, but despite having a staff of more than fifty, you didn't see one around.
Guess it was the instructor's lucky day.
"I'll get it." You said, trying not to let the reluctance creep into your words.
"Aren't you the best, Mrs. Shelby?" He called from behind, his eyes definitely on your behind.
You gritted your teeth, regretting your decision to forgo a cover up. But your bikini, a pretty little thing you had bought on an overindulgent shopping trip was too flattering to be shrouded by a measly coverup. It accentuated your best parts without highlighting the not-so-best ones, and you loved every second you spent in it.
And it was no excuse for the instructor to stare, you thought in displeasure as you walked inside the empty house and into the playroom. As an employee of Thomas Shelby, he should have some regard for his life, if not for decency.
Shaking your head a little, you went on to pick up the swimming ring and padded outside, humming a little as you readjusted your bikini top with your free hand.
It was then that you collided into something. Something hard, alive, and very much like your husband.
"Oh."
His eyes were hidden underneath a pair of aviators (which made him look very, very sexy) but everything else in his calm demeanour, from his clenched jaw to the flat line of his mouth screamed, "Get the hell out of my way."
You stayed where you were, your eyes fixed on your small reflection in his dark glasses. He stood motionless too, and you realised his hand had found home on your bare waist during your collision, ostensibly to steady you.
You shivered a little. He cleared his throat and moved his hand away.
"I forgot my keys." He said, his lips barely moving, as if you didn't deserve even that much muscle contraction.
"To the office?"
He gave a surly nod, as if saying, What else?
"Charles has swimming lessons." You said.
"I know."
"I was getting him the ring. I was only away for five minutes, I swear."
That managed to irk him more and he muttered, "Go on, then," before pushing past you and inside the house.
You heaved a large sigh. What a day. And it was only eleven.
"Here, Charles. Catch!" You smiled at Charlie and threw the ring in his direction.
"You are a lifesaver, Mrs. Shelby." The instructor flashed a wolfish smile which you believed was very, very inappropriate for a man supposed to teach children.
"Oh, shut up." You answered while gritting your teeth as you sat down on the chair, looking forward to an hour of lounging about as Charlie took his lessons.
"It's the truth."
Why was he still talking?
You smiled and picked up a magazine from the side table, very pointedly making your intentions clear.
"I think we need your help, Mrs. Shelby." The instructor's voice broke through your reading and your calm demeanour.
"What's wrong now?" You asked as you hurried to cover the 2 feet long distance between you and the pool.
"This."
In a moment, you were drenched from head to toe by the cold pool water.
"What-"
"Are you cold, Mrs. Shelby?" He smirked, his eyes set lecherously on your breasts.
"You will not talk to me in this way!"
"Mr. Hurst! I am floating." Charlie's voice cut through the tension, and you found yourself quietening a little.
Ignoring you and your empty threats, the instructor swam back towards Charlie, "Look at you, Charles. You are a gifted swimmer, boy."
Clenching your teeth, you turned to walk back to the lounge chair, only to sense some movement in the corner of your eye.
You looked up to catch the eye of Tommy, who was standing near the window with a cigarette in between his fingers, scrutinising the situation with his icy cold eyes, no doubt calling you a whore in his head.
What a day, really.
***
"Where's Charles?" Tommy Shelby asked whoever was listening when he came back home that night.
You got up immediately from your almost sleeping position on the sofa and relayed the news to Tommy, "He's sleeping."
He gave you a once-over, as if realising you were an actual person too and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I thought I would wait...You didn't have dinner, did you?" You asked hesitatingly.
"No. Tell Frances to bring it in my study." He instructed.
You nodded while barely stifling a yawn.
"And you, come inside." He pointed a finger at you before leaving for his study.
You exhaled, wondering if it was your last day in Arrow House after all.
"Do you need something?" You asked as you let yourself inside the study. Tommy was going through some papers and he looked at you for second before going back to the work at hand.
"Yeah. What's that instructor's name?" He asked, eyes still on the paper he was reading.
"Umm...Tim. Tim Hurst."
"Tell him not to come from next week."
"Oh...Why?"
He cast a funny look in your direction before stating, "He's unfit for the job."
"Okay. I'll let him know." You nodded and began to leave, but Frances interrupted your exit.
"Mr. Shelby."
"Dinner is here. Do you want anything else?" You asked.
He nodded, then gestured at the sofa. "Sit down."
You gave him a quizzical look.
"You didn't eat, did you?" He asked most patiently, as if speaking to a child. Or an imbecile.
"But it's all right. I'll eat outside. I'm sure you need privacy."
In answer, he turned and sat down on his chair, and you were about to take that as your cue to leave, only to literally freeze when he said slowly, "I called you for company."
You swallowed. Time to tell him, (Y/n).
"I know what you are thinking."
"You do?" He asked as he leaned back in his chair, taking you in with a carelessly curious gaze.
"And it's my fault, really. I shouldn't have worn that...swimsuit. But I wasn't expecting Tim to behave so inappropriately. I know you think I was trying to grab his attention, but that was not my intention. My entire focus was on Charlie. I care for him, very much."
He nodded, his lips turned up a little. "I know."
You almost sputtered. That's all you want to say?
"Why didn't you tell me about it?" He asked instead.
You shrugged. "He was good with Charlie, and his word matters in the federation. I thought he'd put a good word for him."
"Still, you should've told me."
"I'll keep that mind." You acceded, trying hard not to roll your eyes.
He raised his eyebrows for a moment, as if seeing through your farce. And you couldn't bear his scrutiny anymore.
"Good night, then." You said, slightly irked.
He nodded. "Good night."
***
"Charlie? What are you upto?"
"Hello to you." You greeted Tommy in surprise a few afternoons later as he strode inside the drawing room where you and Charlie were sitting on the floor.
"So, what's going on?" He asked as he sat down on the sofa, you and Charlie literally at his feet.
"Charlie and I decided to make a castle."
"A castle of paper!" Charlie squealed in delight.
"Girls do that shit." He muttered with a look in your direction.
"Now Charlie, why don't you tell your very ignorant father that both boys and girls live in castles?"
"Yeah, Dad. (Y/n) said I'll be a Prince!"
"Why not?" He said with a shake of his head.
"And she will be my princess." Charlie continued.
You gave a throaty laugh at that, sobering when you found Tommy's eyes intent on your face.
"What does that make me, eh?" Tommy asked as he pulled out a cigarette and ran it across his lips.
"The fire-breathing dragon." You muttered in what you assumed was a low voice but Charlie's snicker told you otherwise.
"Dad is a dragon! Dad is a dragon!"
"Now, Charlie." You chided, and with a contrite look in Tommy's direction, muttered, "I'm sorry."
But to your surprise, his face was lit with amusement. Smiling a little yourself, you began putting the crayons in the colouring box as you asked Tommy, "I thought you were leaving for London. Aren't you late?"
"I decided not to go." He said plainly.
"Is everything all right?"
"Yeah."
When he didn't elaborate, you said, "Charlie wanted to go for a swim. But I..."
"What?" He almost uncoiled from his sprawling position on the sofa, his sharp gaze piercing into you.
"I can't- I don't know how to swim. So I brought him here. I'm sorry."
He stayed quiet, then asked, "Do you still have that thing...?" He made a vague gesture with his hands.
Smirking, you said, "Of course. It cost a fortune."
"Put it on. We're going swimming."
***
"This is a bad idea."
You said fifteen minutes later as you watched Tommy tread towards you with a swimming ring-encased Charlie in tow.
"Give me your hand." He ordered as he offered you his hand, naked except for his swimming trunks.
Oh, my.
The faint dusting of golden hair on his body, his lean but strong muscles, the sexy tattoos covering his upper body; everything was making too much sweat pool in between your breasts.
"I'll just watch from here." You said, a little too hot for March.
He raised an eyebrow at you before saying, "Looks like somebody is scared, Charlie."
"(y/n) is scared! (y/n) is scared!" Charlie teased, and you would've wiped that smile off Tommy's face if it wasn't so adorable.
"Fine. But if I drown, tell my mother I love her."
"Only 'er?" He asked quietly.
You ignored that and focussed on sliding down in the water.
He was in front of you the moment you entered the pool. "Here. Hold me shoulders."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." He said in mild annoyance.
"But my feet?" You cried.
"They are on the ground." He said calmly.
"Oh, this-"
"This pool is for kids." He looked like he was trying not to smile.
You let out a sigh of relief.
"I think I can manage from here."
"By all means."
He left you alone after that, as alone as a 10 x 10 swimming pool would allow. You focussed mostly on keeping the skimpy bikini in place and watching Tommy and Charlie covertly from the sides, not wanting to interrupt the father-son bonding but still wanting to be a part of their group.
When Charlie's screeches decreased in pitch and frequency, you knew it was time for his nap.
"He's getting tired." You told Tommy and he agreed with a nod.
You carried the already drowsy Charlie in your arms before Tommy had a chance and led him towards the ladder, only to realise it was impossible to carry on forward from there.
"Allow me."
You transferred the sleeping Charlie to his father, then began your ascent up the ladder, dripping water everywhere around you and resisting the urge to readjust the slippery fabric around your ass and breasts.
"It was fun." You smiled at Tommy while shivering, cursing yourself one more time for forgetting your coverup.
Did you, though, (Y/n)? Didn't a tiny part of you wanted to show off in front of your husband?
Ignoring the spiteful voice in your head, you focussed on what Tommy was saying.
"Go wash up. You'll fall sick." He said in his flat, solicitous voice.
"But Charlie-"
"Frances will take care of him. All right?"
"His clothes-"
"Go."
You agreed half-heartedly but felt eyes on your back until you entered the house.
***
You were drying your hair in your soft pink bathrobe when you heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?" You asked from inside, running hand through your damp hair.
The person outside took it as an invitation to come inside, and you hurried to readjust the knot on the robe.
"Oh, you." You said as Tommy Shelby entered your bedroom in his usual insanely expensive three-piece suit. And to think he was in the pool just half an hour ago.
"Were you expecting someone else?" He asked, taking your form with piercing intensity and making you very much aware of the fact that you were very much naked underneath the cotton robe.
"No..No, I meant...I wasn't expecting you." You stuttered.
He looked faintly amused as he closed the door behind him. "Why not?"
"Well, this isn't your room." You explained.
"I know." He said with a look around your dainty, overcrowded room as he walked further inside.
Licking your lips, you asked, "Did you want something?"
He nodded once, walking closer towards you until you were pushed against the wall.
"What?" It came out as a squawk.
"This."
Your whimper died when your mouths collided. His lips on yours, pressing, coaxing, pushing.
The kiss was over before it began, and before you could know what the hell it was about, he was leaving the room.
***
"Dinner?" Tommy asked you one evening as you came out of Charlie's room after putting him to bed.
Almost jolted from the ambush, you barely managed to nod at him before collapsing on the bed the moment you went inside your own room.
It was a quiet dinner, uneventful even, except the fact that you were flustered enough to keel over and die on the rich wool carpet. And Tommy, that fiend was doing everything to make your situation worse.
He had escorted you to the table with a not so innocent hand on the small of your back, or rather some place lower and much more improper. Then, he had not missed any opportunity to touch you surreptitiously. A rub behind your collarbone, a stroke on your fingers, you name it.
Twice during the dinner, his hand brushed against your breast, sending sharp electric tingles down your spine.
Honest mistake, no need to get riled up, you had convinced yourself as your entire body heated with pent up sexual frustration.
"Pass me the whisky." He said, as affected by the ordeal as the barely touched food on your plate.
You obliged and offered him a glass of the drink. His fingers brushed against yours, and stayed there for a long moment; long enough to make your heart skip a beat. His eyes stayed fixed on yours throughout the ordeal until you pulled your hand away.
This was nothing if not a mistake.
You narrowed your eyes at him then. "I know what you're doing."
"Good." He said with a quick sip of the drink.
"This is entirely wrong."
He looked a touch hurt, and asked as blankly as possible, "Why?"
"Because you don't like me."
"I like you a lot." He sounded a bit unenthusiastic about that detail.
"Why?" You demanded.
"Because."
"Because?"
"Let's go upstairs." He threw his napkin and got up from the chair.
"Tommy."
"What?" He asked gently, his eyes locked into yours.
"Is it because of me? Or just because you want to do it?"
"Both."
Your face deflated a little.
"Come."
Your hands stayed linked as you strode up the stairs, he, a man on a mission and you, almost grudgingly.
Suddenly, without breaking step, he said, "Ever since I saw you in that...."
"Bikini?" You asked.
"Yeah, that." He made the same vague gesture as he pushed his bedroom door open.
"So?" You prodded, looking around his room with an embarrassing amount of yearning. It was everything you wanted and the one thing you couldn't have. Well, except Tommy.
"I haven't been sleeping properly." He said as he rubbed the side of head with his thumb.
"You're never sleeping properly."
"And how would you know that?" He looked sceptical.
"I'm your wife, Tommy."
His face softened for a moment before eyes darkened with need as he slowly reached to touch the straps of your dress.
"Yes, you are." He said huskily and bent forward to claim your mouth.
Sighing, you spoke against his lips, "I want this to mean something."
"It does." He said before resuming his ministrations. His lips teasing, his hands caressing, his legs leading both of your bodies towards the bed.
He divested you of your clothes with little trouble and much ease, before laying you flat on your back, naked as the day you were born. He was on top of you soon, the weight of his hard body a sweet pressure on your aching body.
"Tell me what you want, (Y/n)." There was a mild entreaty in his voice as he pushed a finger inside your slick folds, making you whimper loudly.
"Oh, God, Tommy..." You moaned, burning to bring him closer.
"This?" He asked and inserted another finger into your wet slit, making your body arch off the bed and your eyes roll back behind your head.
"Tommy, please..." You sobbed.
"Please what, love?" He asked gently, but you knew he was smiling.
"Please. I need you."
It was all confirmation he needed, and soon his hardened cock replaced his expert fingers, pushing into your drenched folds with ease.
You sighed at his feel, taking him in he slowly thrusted into you, as if afraid to break you. When you couldn't take in the sweet torture anymore, you moaned out with his each thrust, "Tommy, please...don't...stop."
As if just waiting for your permission, he pushed deep inside you, and thrusted with complete abandon, making the bedsprings squeak and the headboard above your head tremble.
Within minutes, you shattered in his arms, and he drove himself faster and deeper until he exploded inside you too before bending and pressing a soft kiss on your lips.
Your foreheads joined, sweat coating your bodies, your breathes coming in shallow breaks. You were in so much love with him at that moment, knowing you would never be this close to him than you were right now. Feeling bold, you awkwardly raised your hand and touched the side of his freckled face. He moved his face so he was kissing the inside of your palm.
It felt like fireworks.
He pulled out then and laid down by your side, but didn't let go of you, holding you close by his chest with his arm around your shoulders, eyes on the ceiling.
"Should I say something?" You asked as you clutched the bedspread in the hand which was hidden from you.
"If you want, yeah." He sounded like he was having trouble speaking, and kept his eyes trained on the ceiling.
"Well, not precisely. But yeah.. it was nice." You shrugged shyly, barely restraining the urge to hide your face behind your hands. This was Tommy Shelby after all, the man you had loved for five years and been married to for two years.
He looked gravely offended at that. "Fuckin' nice?"
"Wonderful. Life altering." You admitted.
He exhaled through his nose, a tiny smile lifting the side of his mouth. "Better."
Satisfied, you asked him the dreadful question you wished didn't exist but whose presence you had to accept. "So, should I go?"
He furrowed his brows. "Where?"
"My room." You said quietly.
He really looked at you then and said, in his most serious yet sexy voice, "Sweetheart, you are in your room."

Disposable
Pairing: Tommy Shelby x Reader
Word Count: 969
Warnings: angst & heartache
Summary: Tommyâs angry and Y/N has had enough of always being readily available to console him.
A/N: It was just an angsty type of day. Iâm prepared for this to completely flop because I havenât written in so long, but either way, here it is. Broke my heart :/
âWhat do you want from me Y/N, ey? What the fuck do you want ?!â Tommy hollered throwing his coat on the kitchen table. You stood in the middle of the room watching your best friend spiral into uncontrollable rage. You were so sure about having this talk with him but watching his anger spill out in front you, you were no longer confident.
âTommy.. I just,â you muttered as the man continued to throw himself down on his designated eating chair hiding his face in his hands suddenly going still and waiting for your reply.
âWhat? Y/N.â he tried again this time more collected but nonetheless annoyed.
âNothing, nothing. I canât speak with you when youâre like this,â you bit back at him.
âFuck off Y/N,â he whispered shaking his head with his eyes closed. You snorted a breath at him and stormed out the room slamming the door behind you the same way he did when he entered.
Seconds after you left, Tommy realized what he had just done. The both of you always walked the line across an unspoken kindness. Heâs never cursed at you, neither you at him. But now he had.
At the end of the day you were like a safe place to him, listening and watching him flirt and use other woman for his own benefit. Then you had to hear about it afterwards.
It has crossed your mind several times that he was using you just as much. You hated thinking about it knowing your own developing feelings for him. Once after asking him why you didnât just date each other, he told you he wasnât ready to, and that itâs just different with you. Thatâs something you never understood. If it was different, that had to mean he held some sort of feelings for you, right?
Nevertheless, since then, for years now, you stay by his side, being his confidant and disposable priest listening to all of his thoughts and sins. Of course, when he found a woman more interesting to occupy his time, he went to her instead. Until someone breaks it off and he comes running back to you.
You were sick of it, and that was exactly what you wanted to talk with him about today.
As you started down the dimming street on Watery Lane, you found yourself an upside down barrel to sit on and get your thoughts together.
You were always Tommy's second choice, at least that's what he made it seem to be. Looking down at your hands, you ran your fingers over the top of your hand and wrist the way he used to do.
You missed him - the Tommy you first met. He was always so gentle with you, and you felt like he would always be there to protect you, from people, from your thoughts. But in reality it was just the opposite. Not only his presence but the idea of him tormented you. The ideas he put in your head that you were his best friend, the one he couldn't lose, the one he put first. That wasn't true. They were just words. The way he acts proved it.
And now he crossed that line and finally cursed at you. The words kept repeating in your head. Fuck off Y/N...
"Y/N!" Tommy's voice echoed through the darkness. You rolled your eyes and stood up to make your way in the opposite direction of him, but you couldn't move. You kept willing to step forward but your legs were cemented to the gravel.
"Y/n," he said in a much softer and quiet voice now, stopping still behind you. God how much you loved that voice.
"What?" you snapped at him, still facing away from him.
"Where are you going?" he asked curiously, guilt flooding through his heart knowing he's been pushing you away and that there was no one else to blame but himself.
"I am going" you simply stated shrugging and blinking back the heat of the tears threatening your eyes.
Nevertheless, your response didn't answer his question and he slowly sighed in defeat. He wasn't going to get you back. "Just, Y/N... tell me what you want? Please, just tell me what I've done wrong. You know I love you," he pleaded but you snorted at his all too familiar words.
"Thomas," you spun around to face him.
"Thomas Shelby, you very well know what I want. You, I want you, and I have waited for you for years. Years! Tommy, I love you, how could you fucking ask what I want?" you ran your mouth anger filling you once again. He stood there watching you, watching his world falling apart as you flung your arms at his chest.
The truth was however, that he really did love you the most. He did need you the most. And he knew he would have a much more difficult time in life without being able to share it with you. The reason he chooses to be with every woman but you was because he didn't want to lose you. He knew his toxic traits and habits that everyone eventually got tired of and left him for. Whatever the reason, whoever he got into an argument with, they would leave, and they wouldn't come back. He didn't want you to be the woman who never came back.
And as you continued yelling and spewing insults at the man standing in front of you, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around your body.
"You know why I do this Y/n... you know," he kept whispering in your ear stroking your hair back, the same way he does when his horses get spooked. You let your tears soak his shirt and just for that moment, clung onto him like he was the last person on Earth.

Where the daisies grow
Pairing : Tommy Shelby x You
Warnings: Angst, description of injuries(mention of blood and cuts)
Summary: as stated in the request below. @luvlyencanto
I wanted to ask a story about: "having Polly Gray as the only mother figure". The reader would be a girl who was abandoned at an Orphanage (hell on earth) she only has bad memories of there. However, Polly and the Shelbys came as a light in her life, the reader is be between 8-9 years old when she's brought to them. And even though she was "adopted", she was always loved, raised and welcomed like a Shelby. Polly kind of adopted her as her daughter, making sure she was always dressed and having what she wanted, and she even bestowed the name Shelby on her. She was a Shelby, because if anyone tried to disrespect or harm her, they would have to deal with the wrath of them all. Ada, Arthur, John and Finn treat her like a sister and Tommy... well, maybe he could have some romantic interest in her??
A/n: let me know what you think :)
He was 16 when the 9 year old child was left in his aunt's care one day. He hadn't even known until he walked in to his aunt's house one evening to see a young girl in his aunt's kitchen.
Tommy had become protective of his siblings during the time that his mother had further grown unstable and his father had become an abusive alcoholic, which made him cautious of the child that had showed up in his aunt's house with no warning.
It was later that Aunt Pol told her leery nephew who was staring at the girl hunched in her chair "Edith dropped her here from the orphanage"
"why?" Tommy shot back, not allowing his gaze to falter from you.
"Because the orphanage treated her horribly knowing who her father was, Thomas" Pol said frustrated," I tried fighting her father to let me care for her after her mother died but he wouldn't let me, let the orphanage drag her away before he left for the country side"
"Why'd the orphanage take her when her father was alive?"
Pol grew more and more impatient at her nephews incessant questions "Because he paid them off to do so"
"makes no sense" Tommy turned away leaving his aunt in the hallway.
You remembered the orphanage in all its unforgiving transparency. The harsh words uttered to you by the caregivers still echoed in your head on dark snowy days. You were 13 now. Having lived with Pol for almost 4 years you'd become one of the Shelby's and were treated as such.
The Shelby siblings came around occasionally, and then more frequently until one day they moved in with Polly. Which you soon learned was because Martha Shelby had drowned in the cut.
Tommy was quiet; dealing with her death and the baby she left behind. Arthur would sometimes snap out of anger, Ada would spend her time doing generally anything to occupy her mind and John wasn't home often.
Then they began to recover to a certain extent; they laughed a little more than before. Tommy laughed, a lot. And often it was because of John.
On your 13th birthday Tommy got you flowers- daisies, you learned they were, not knowing what else to get you that he could afford. The rest of the family did their best to make your birthday special with the little money they could afford to spend at their leisure and you cherished every single moment.
Tommy and Ada occasionally spoke of their mother, and never of their father, which you realized was one of the common grounds you had with them- your very strong hatred for your fathers.
You'd been accepted completely as one of them by each of the siblings. Finn seemed like a little brother to you and you'd grown protective of the little boy.
Pol taught you to sew and Arthur would teach you new games, though you felt he was trying to busy his mind in doing so. John took you on walks and Tommy accompanied you to book shops and sat while you read since you couldn't afford to buy a book. He'd grumble a lot of course about how boring you were for reading. Ada was the older sister you never had. The one you talked to about everything.
At 17 you sobbed, chest heaving and hiccups erupting from your mouth, you clung to Tommy last of all, not wanting to let go. You'd refused to let go of John and Arthur- hoping maybe if you held on to them tight enough they wouldn't go.
But Aunt Pol, shedding tears herself, softly asked you to hug Tommy as well and bid them goodbye.
So you did. And Tommy held your shaking body as you cried into his coat and begged him to stay.
"It'll be alright" he had a few tears rolling down his cheeks as well.
You tearfully watched the Shelby boys except Finn board the train bound to take them, to what you were sure, was their ultimate demise.
Ada busied herself with Finn, Pol was trying to make enough money for the four of you and you- you spent your time sobbing, staring at walls, and watching the door, hoping any of the 3 boys would come barging in, telling you the war was over and they were home for good.
But the war wasn't over, no it had been 2 long years, and you heard enough women wailing in the streets, in their homes, in the shops and flower fields, for their husbands, brothers, sons, uncles and fathers who had become casualties, to know better.
Everyone knew that the families of the dead soldiers received letters, informing them their loved ones were 'killed in action'. And you dreaded those 3 words.
2 years turned in to 3 and then 4, and you feared if maybe they were never coming home at all, maybe the letters were on their way to inform you of it.
And then you heard it one day.
Cheers on the streets outside Pol's door. Cheers of the war being over.
And you froze. Your heart, you were sure had stopped. Turning to look at Ada who'd been sitting next to you was looking right back at you, eyes wide.
"D-"Pol threw open the door, making Finn drop Arthur's hat he'd given his baby brother the day he left.
Ada rushed to the door with you following closely
"The war- its bloody over" Pol sobbed, thick tears streaming down her face. Finn immediately rushed into his aunts arms, and Ada hugged you, crying.
You stood there in shock and wrapped your arms around Ada, wondering when the boys would be home.
"Pol" you finally rasped out " do you suppose they'll be back soon then? the 3 of them?"
Polly looked up, Finn still clinging to her "we haven't got a letter like so many, I suppose they should be home soon then" She let out a sob and then "all 3 of them" she smiled.
So you waited. And on your 22nd birthday, you wished yourself a happy birthday in the dark of the house and downed your glass of liquor before blowing out the candle.
But you didn't fall asleep.
It had been 4 months since the war was over, neither of the boys were home and there wasn't a letter either.
Maybe, you swallowed the lump in your throat, maybe there were so many casualties that the boys were just lost among them. Too many bodies to identify maybe, they were just laying somewhere-gone buried under the rest of the hundreds of dead soldiers.
letting out a shaky breath you turned over, covered your ears and willed yourself to sleep.
"We come home from war and she fuckin sleeps"
Shooting up from your cot, you turned around.
You leapt into John's arms sending him stumbling slightly as you latched on to him like you did when they were leaving. And you cried. And cried harder still when you saw Arthur behind John and nearly fell over your own feet in a hurry to hug him.
You were afraid, that you'd wake up and this would all be a dream. John chuckled behind you, you didn't have to see him to know it was forced.
Arthur hugged you tighter as well. John slipped out to where Pol and Ada were, whom he'd already seen.
"Arthur" your voice wavered " Where's Tommy?" you legs felt shaky at the thought of the fact that he probably never returned.
"He's outside, with Pol and Ada" Arthur led you out to where Tom stood, bickering with a sobbing Finn.
Looking up at the sound of your footsteps he asked Finn to give him a minute and hurried over to you.
"Tommy" you whispered hugging him tighter than ever. You'd convinced yourself he was going to tell you he had to go back, so you gripped him tightly.
Pol ushered everyone into the house, wiping her face. She placed down cups for tea and lit a cigarette between her lips.
Finn was now in John's arms and Ada poked his side telling him he was too big to be carried around now.
Sipping on their tea, everyone was sat around the old, wobbly wooden table.
You constantly kept placing your hand on Arthur or Tommy, who were sat on either side of you. They both knew you were trying to assure yourself that they were really there. Sipping his tea, Tommy watched you quietly, as a shell of a man he once was, at the woman you had become.
Tommy's horse trotted next to him quietly. The streets hadn't changed all that much since they'd left, Tommy noted.
Moreover the betting shop was doing well. It cost him a lot of nights and early mornings but he was only grateful for the nights he had something to occupy his mind.
He tucked the flowers in his coat and tightened his grip on the horse's leash.
You didn't see him home often. Occasionally he'd come home for a cup of tea, but otherwise he remained busy at the shop or the Garrison.
You knew the war had changed all 3 men. You knew they'd seen unspeakable things and it made your heart ache that you couldn't do much to help them.
It didn't go unnoticed by you that Tommy had changed the most by far. He didn't laugh- rarely even smiled. Arthur and John tried to use humor to cope where Tommy used silence. He hardly ever spoke to anyone anymore. When he did though, he spoke only of the business he'd indulged in weeks after returning.
He'd grown more observant, careful and on edge. He would watch you converse with Finn from the doorway and then quietly slip away. He came home late most nights, you knew this.
But the boys were trying. There were parts of them that died at the war, that was buried under the dirt and blood in the trenches. And here all the way back at small heath, they were barely surviving with whatever they had left in them.
Still as time went on, the business grew more chaotic and dangerous. Pol had now begun working in the betting shop and Ada would disappear for hours each day and you didn't bother asking where.
You, like Ada, weren't allowed to work with the rest of the Shelby's in the shop, so you occupied yourself at home with the little that you could. You took to teaching Finn and looking after him, occasionally you'd walk to the book shop and wander, until one day the owner offered you a job there. Having consulted Polly, the two of you agreed it would be good for you, so you'd begun spending most of your days working at the book shop.
Though not too many people bought anything you didn't care since it gave you time to read.
Closing the door, you walked past the kitchen table to pour yourself a glass of water. You weren't expecting anyone to be home soon since it was still evening and everyone usually returned towards the night. And Finn was with Pol so you had the house to yourself.
Before you could sit though, you heard the front door open. Looking up you leaned a little to get a better view of the door way "how are you home so early Tommy?"
Slipping his coat off and hanging it, he turned to face you pulling the flowers out of the coat he just hung "came to give you this"
Walking over to where you were seated he handed you the bouquet of flowers.
White Gerbera daisies. The ones you knew grew at the edge of small heath. The same ones he gave you when you turned 13.
You let out a breath and smiled slightly "I'd forgot I was turning 23 today" you chair scraped the hardwood floor when you got up to place the flowers in water.
"How come?" He leaned against the kitchen top, watching you.
"Don't know, Doesn't mean as much as it did when I was younger" Tommy hummed but said nothing " I suppose it was a exciting getting to grow older when I was young, now it's just a another year wasted and gone"
"wasted"
"yeah" you sighed "wasted. I haven't done anything with myself or helped anyone or changed anything. So wasted it is."
He wouldn't tell you. Not yet. Maybe not ever. It wouldn't be appropriate would it? He was almost 9 years older to you. He couldn't tell you.
In the following months he would linger around at home more often. When Ada had Carl and Freddie died, you helped Ada. You were the only one she spoke to every now and then and the only one she would meet with, because you weren't a Shelby by blood. Tommy would ask you how she was doing, and you'd tell him knowing he probably already knew.
You and Tommy spent time together more frequently, after he hired you as his assistant because he no longer felt you were safe working at the book shop, after what had transpired between the peaky blinders and their enemies.
Of course in the process of convincing you Tommy lost the leisure of getting to spend time alone though he didn't mind spending time with you, since you agreed to work with him if he swore to spend time with you more often.
You feared that you'd made your feelings too obvious to him with your 'non-negotiable precondition' but luckily he never caught on.
Polly did however, and rolled her eyes "And I thought you were too smart to fall for him" she said once Tommy had left the house.
Your face grew hot but you feigned ignorance " Don't know what your talking about" mumbling you got up and put your cup away.
"it would do you good next time to be more careful" you were walking home after having worked with Tommy the entire day. But you weren't sure if you were even moving at all leave alone walking.
The ground was rough underneath your sore palm. The dirt and water of the ground seeped into your cut palm as you tried to stable yourself. All you felt was pain. Everywhere. So much pain.
Your left eye was swollen shut, your nose, you think, was bleeding. You weren't sure but you felt something wet dripping down your lip and you assumed it was blood because you didn't have the strength to lift either of your hands to check.
You couldn't breathe, it hurt and you had to take shallow breaths to avoid the pain shooting across your chest. And when you thought it was finally over, your jaw was gripped. Tightly, roughly, straining your wounded lip.
"Tell Tommy it's not over" you couldn't see who it was. Your right eye was blurry and you sure as hell couldn't open your left eye. Your jaw was let go off and your already pounding head thud against the wall.
Letting out a small whimper you let your arm fall from your lap and slouched even further against the wall behind you.
"John, have you seen Y/n?" Tommy had come in sometime back and looked for you wanting to ask you about the letters he'd had you send out that afternoon.
"No, thought she was with you or Pol?" John put down the cigarette to look at this older brother.
Shaking his head, Tommy didn't say a word instead he grabbed his gun off of the table where he placed it only a second ago and slammed the door shut behind him meaning to go to the betting shop to see if you'd gone back for some reason.
You'd left almost an hour before him, Pol was still at the shop with Arthur and he hoped you were there too. He hated the idea of you out this late at night, but you threatened to snip his coats if he persisted on the idea of you being accompanied home.
His heart pounded and his fingers were turning numb from the cold. He hadn't taken his overcoat when he left in a hurry to find you. All he had was the suit coat he had on which didn't help much against the harsh cold and the rain that was beginning to pour.
"Pol?" he called from the door way of the shop not bothering to go in if you weren't there.
"What is it Tommy?" Pol asked, a pile of papers in hand
"Is Y/n here?" His eyes took in the surrounding hastily hoping to spot you.
"She's not here, didn't she leave an hour ago?"
"Yeah, she's not home either- ARTHUR" upon hearing his younger brother practically bellowing his name, Arthur almost choked on his liquor before quickly swallowing and rushing over to Tommy.
"Come with me" Tommy spoke quickly "Pol, send John out to look for her at the cut" Arthur followed Tommy and Pol rushed to close the betting shop.
It shouldn't have taken you more than 15 minutes to cross over two streets and get home, Tommy worried. He was breathing heavy and he walked frantically across the two streets and came into view of there home.
Arthur kept squinting, walking into alleyways to see if you were there, and every time he did, Tommy grew more and more uneasy. If you were spotted in any alleyway it would involve you being hurt in some way, and Tommy could barely cope with just the thought of you slightly bruised he didn't want to think of anything worse than that.
It was only when they were at the last damp and dark alleyway right before their home, that Tommy heard it; a small thud. Barely audible over the pouring rain Tommy heard it loud and clear. There were a couple of people walking past who paid it no attention.
Arthur and Tommy immediately ran over into the alley and Arthur watched his younger brother fall to his knees in front of your body.
Arthur couldn't tell if you were even alive or not. You white shirt was drenched in blood, your eye swollen shut, your arms had cuts all over. Your lip was cut deep and looked swollen and your ear was split from the impact of someone hitting your head on the ground. You weren't moving.
Tommy was kneeling next to you desperately feeling for a pulse, the water and blood off the floor seeped into his pants where he kneeled and he wanted to throw up.
He'd seen a lot, but nothing made him shiver the way the sight of you limp, bleeding, cut up, beaten and bruised against the wall in the dark cold alleyway did.
His hands shaking, Tommy slipped off the coat and wrapped it around your shoulders then took his hat and put it on your damp hair to shield you from the rain.
"Arthur" Tommy shivered " bring the car around- now"
Arthur took off immediately towards the house to get the car parked in front.
"Come on love, please" he whispered slipping one arm around your shoulder and the other under your knees, picking you up he walked towards where Arthur was bringing the car.
It took everything in Tommy to not give in to the quivering in his legs. He carefully sat you in the back of the car and then slipped in beside you himself. And Arthur sped to the hospital the moment the door was shut.
Tommy kept caressing your hair. Arthur watched him do so, his breath shaking as well. He knew his younger brother was doing so because if you weren't going to make it and you were in fact slipping away in his arms as it seemed, then Tommy wanted you to know you weren't alone in the ghastly cold alleyway anymore, and were now in his arms; safe. He wanted you to know you weren't dying alone. He wanted you to know it would be alright.
