Chapter 859 Home Alone

Chapter 859 Home Alone

The afternoon sun beat down on the glistening surface of the pool at Tom's house, casting shimmering diamonds across the water.

Tom, submerged up to his chest, leaned back against the edge, watching as Lucy swam leisurely across the pool. Her laughter echoed in the air as she did a playful underwater flip, emerging with a spray of water that dotted her face.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Tom asked, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Lucy, treading water playfully, tilted her head back, droplets clinging to her eyelashes. "This?" she said, gesturing towards the pool. "Or the fact that we have the whole place to ourselves?"

Sonia and Bryan had left for their place since Mia was gone now. And they had given all the domestic staff the weekend off. They wanted to have the whole place to themselves.

Tom chuckled. "Both, actually. But watching you enjoy the pool for the first time... it's pretty special."

She swam closer, the cool water lapping against her shoulders as she reached the edge. "I can't believe we haven't used this more. It's amazing and so relaxing. I feel all the tension of the week flowing out of me and into the water."

Tom cocked an eyebrow, "Should I get out of the water? I don't want all that tension flowing into me," he joked.

"Now I'm going to dump it all on you," she said playfully, splashing water towards him with a laugh.

He yelped, feigning offense, and retaliated with a playful splash of his own. Soon, a playful water fight ensued, filled with laughter and lighthearted teasing.

When they finally tired themselves out, panting slightly, they settled back into a comfortable silence. Tom swam closer to her, his eyes searching hers.

He reached out, gently tucking a wet strand of hair behind her ear. "It's nice just to relax, isn't it?"

Lucy nodded, leaning her head against his hand. "It really is."

Lucy closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of the sun on her skin and the feeling of Tom's hand resting on her cheek.

"There is something I do like about the pool though," Tom said, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.

Lucy cracked open one eye, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "Oh really? And what might that be?"

"The view," he said, his gaze dropping to her figure in the skimpy black bikini.

Lucy's cheeks flushed a warm pink, and she couldn't help but let out a playful snort. "You're impossible."

He grinned, pulling her closer until she was just a breath away. "Maybe. But I wouldn't trade this view for anything."

"Is that right?" she asked, her voice a husky whisper as she met his gaze. His eyes held a depth of warmth that sent a shiver down her spine.

He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a tender kiss. "Absolutely," he murmured against her mouth, his voice low and husky.

They kissed again, this time with a deeper intensity. When they finally broke apart, both breathless, Lucy rested her forehead against his chest.

"This feels nice, love," she admitted softly, her voice barely a whisper.

"Being here with you? It's more than nice, Jewel," he replied, his hand tracing gentle circles on her back. "It's almost perfect."

"This feels nice, love," she admitted softly, her voice barely a whisper.

"Being here with you? It's more than nice, Jewel," he replied, his hand tracing gentle circles on her back. "It's almost perfect."

"Almost?" She asked curiously.

"Yes. But I'm sure it would be perfect soon enough." He said, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"What are you thinking now?" She asked, knowing he was up to no good.

"How about we play a game?" He asked, and she narrowed her eyes.

"What sort of game?" She asked suspiciously.

"A game where the winner gets to ask the loser to do something," he said and Lucy nodded.

"Something like what?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Anything at all. You can ask me to buy you a private Jet or anything," Tom said, confident that he would win.

"Really? I love it. Tell me more about this game," she said, and Tom grinned.

"Well, it's easy. The first person to get to the other end of the pool wins," he said, and immediately the words left his lips, Lucy started swimming.

Tom laughed out loud as he quickly chased after her, "You are cheating. I haven't even called out the rule or said we can start yet," he called after her.

Lucy laughed as she turned to look at him, "It's just the both of us playing, darling. I can't let you make all that decision alone," she said and resumed swimming when she saw that he was in hot pursuit.

Just as she was about to get to the end of the pool, Tom appeared in front of her and beat her to it, "I won! I won!" Tom yelled, laughing and clapping happily while Lucy frowned.

"Can you go faster now?" She pleaded as she began to climax.

And Tom's hand which was around her neck grabbed her boob as he increased in pace, and soon they were both panting and moaning and groaning as the pressure mounted withing them.

Lucy turned her head to the side, and as though he could read her mind, Tom leaned closer and met her lips in a kiss as they both climaxed.

And before Tom could pull away, Lucy held him back, "I'm safe," she assured him, and he came hard inside of her.

They both remained in that position as they caught their breath, and once their breathing had stabilized and Lucy turned to face Tom, he chuckled and she giggled.

"You keep making me do crazy things. Who would have thought I'd have sex in the open in broad daylight? What if someone is hiding somewhere and watching?" She asked as she looked around before meeting Tom's gaze again.

"No one is watching. I made sure everyone left the house. I wouldn't risk exposing you to something like that for any reason," Tom said, and Lucy nodded.

"I know. That's why I didn't object," she admitted.

"I can say being here together is perfect now," Tom said with a wink and she giggled.

"Yeah. I agree. It's more than perfect," Lucy said with a satisfied sigh.

"So, you can now add sex in the pool to your list of sexperience," Tom said and she grinned.

"Yeah," Lucy said, and then raised a brow when she saw Tom's brief floating on the water before looking down to see that he was naked.

"When did you take it off?" She asked, and he chuckled.

"When you were too lost to notice," he said with a grin.

"I think we should get dressed before anyone comes to find us here. I'd die of mortification if that happens," she said, and Tom laughed.

"Should we play a game of first to dress up and get out of the pool?" He asked as he swam towards his floating briefs.

"No way," she said with a giggle as she climbed out of the pool her body warm and relaxed.

After wearing her bikini, Tom wrapped her in a towel and they sat by the poolside in comfortable silence, simply enjoying each other's presence and sipping from their wineglasses.

"What is in your head?" Lucy asked after some time.

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Lucy asked with a playful smile and Tom nodded.

"Yeah. Absolutely nothing. Just enjoying the silence," Tom said, and Lucy giggled, making him turn to look at what was amusing her.

"I can't understand how your became a CEO with an empty head. I mean, how can nothing be in your head? Not even a brain?" She asked, laughing.

"How dare you?" Tom asked when he realized what she had done, he reached for her as he laughed.

Lucy quickly got up and ran away, leaving him to chase after her. She ran all the way to the house, laughing as she ran while Tom remained hot on her pursuit.

By the time she got to the staircase, she was out of breath, so she stopped to catch her breath, and Tom caught her, sending her into another round of laughter.

"I dare you to say that again," he said, and she laughed as she turned to face him.

"You said it not me. You said you have absolutely nothing in your head," she said with a grin, and Tom smiled.

"You look so beautiful," Tom said, his voice filled with awe and Lucy blushed.

"Don't do that!" She said, looking away from him, and Tom smiled.

"What do you want us to do now? See a movie or go out?" He asked and she smiled.

"Let's read. I haven't read in some time," she said and Tom nodded.

"Alright. Let's do that," he said, and they both climbed the stairs.

Lucy paused when a thought suddenly occurred to her and she looked around the house with a wide smile.

"What?" Tom asked, stopping to look at her when he noticed she had stopped walking.

"I just remembered the first time I woke up in this place. I never would have imagined that I would be back here or even living here," she said, and Tom smiled.

"Well, I did imagine you living here," he said, not wanting to tell her he had not only imagined her living there, but had also imagined their kids running around.

"Really? Is this what you imagined?" She asked, and he shook his head.

"So far, it has been way more beautiful than my imagination, but it's not complete yet," he said, and Lucy smiled, guessing why he said so.

She could tell that he was probably talking about them getting married and having kids. Well, she was going to give him all of that soon, for now, she wanted them to enjoy their day together. Lucy thought with a happy smile as she linked her arm with his and led him upstairs.
