She kept her eyes focused on the big window, sipping on her hot drink, barely sparing her surroundings any attention. It was still early in the morning, allowing (y/n) to watch the sun rise above the snow covered mountains, making a smile tug on her lips at the beautiful sight.
Yesterday she had found her way to this hotel, checking in with anticipation thumping through her veins, excited for a few days on her own, solo travelling a country she had always loved. And now, as she was eating breakfast in a quiet, cosy room, she felt all too comfortable, knowing that there were no meetings she’d have to attend, nothing but the plans she had made for herself.
“Is this seat taken?” A gruff voice ripped her out of her thoughts, forcing (y/n)’s eyes away from the big windows, focusing on the features of a handsome man. With a soft smile tugging on her lips, she murmured a quiet “No”, watching him sit down. “I hope you don’t mind the disturbance, but I didn’t want to miss out on this view.”
“Oh, don’t worry. I totally get it, it’s breathtaking.” She allowed herself to study the man for a few seconds as she took another sip. His piercingly bright eyes were hidden behind a pair of round glasses, his salt and pepper hair was slightly slicked to one side, exposing his side cut to her curious eyes. He was at least ten years older than her, but she couldn’t help but let her gaze flicker down to his hand, checking for a wedding ring, unable to find one.
“Have you been staying here for longer? I haven’t seen you at breakfast before.” (Y/n) tried to pinpoint his accent, wondering where he was from, and why he had found his way to this very place.
“No, I arrived yesterday. What about you, how long have you been staying here?” The man took a sip of his coffee, piercing eyes momentarily finding hers. A shudder ran down (y/n)’s spine at the intense gaze, wondering if he picked up on the attraction she oh so clearly felt for him, drawn closer without knowing a thing about the man.
“I come here every year, I enjoy the quietness this place offers. Is it your first time here?” An unfamiliar warmth flooded through her at the interest he seemed to find in their interaction, not used to being treated this kindly by a stranger.
“It is, but I am already in love with this place. Are there any things you’d recommend doing around here?” He pondered over her question for a few seconds, gaze focused on the pink and orange sky, painting a picture so beautiful (y/n) had to fight against the need to take a picture of it, holding onto the need to enjoy moments rather than pictures she took in these moments.
“Well, it depends on what you’re looking for, there are some museums you should visit, a few rather hidden book stores you’ll find in some alleys. If you want to, I can take you to some of my favourite ones.” (Y/n) couldn’t stop a surprised expression from tugging on her features, not expecting him to offer some of his time to her.
“I’d love that.”
……
Over the past hours (y/n) had learned that the handsome stranger is called Tommy, and that he lived in Birmingham, a city she had always wanted to visit. He had taken her to the history museum in the morning, followed by some coffee in a small store he seemed to frequent whenever he came to visit this town, already friends with the owner of the store.
He hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary, and yet he had won (y/n) over within the first few moments of meeting him. The way Tommy treated her was so unfamiliar to her, she wondered if he was real, filled with kindness, respect, and something glimmering in his eyes that filled her with excitement.
“Didn’t take you for a Dante fan, but I have to say, it fits.” Her whispers left Tommy laughing, thumping through the old copy of Dante’s Inferno he was currently holding in the hands (y/n) found herself staring at way too often. Even though (y/n) tried to focus on the endless rows of old books, her eyes were drawn back to Tommy’s frame at any given chance.
She tried to curse herself for being that interested in a stranger, and yet Tommy didn’t feel like a stranger, he had something familiar to him, something that left her wondering if they had crossed paths in another life. Whatever it was that left her feeling like that, (y/n) didn’t ever want to get rid of this feeling, clinging to it like it was her life vest, protecting her from drowning in uneasy waters she had been stuck in for the past weeks.
“Don’t tell this to anybody, but I can recite most parts of it by heart.” (Y/n) shook her head with a grin tugging on her lips, arms slowly crossing in front of her chest.
“Prove it.” A challenging look was thrown Tommy’s way, watching the man’s tongue kiss his teeth as he tried to stop a smirk from widening on his lips. He turned towards (y/n), leaning against the bookshelf with his hand still holding onto the old copy.
“Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say, what was this forest savage, rough, and stern, which in the very thought renews the fear. So bitter is it, death is little more; But of the good to treat, which there I found, speak will I of the other things I saw there.” With another laugh bubbling out of (y/n), Tommy stopped reciting, letting go of a laugh himself.
“I have to say, I’m impressed. Do you have any other talents I should know of?” He took a step closer, almost touching her, eyes not daring to break contact with hers once. Both were clearly aware of the buzzing atmosphere that engulfed them, wrapping itself around them.
“Many, but I’d rather you find out about them yourself instead of telling you about them.”
……
The next morning (y/n) found herself in the same spot she had sat in the day before, once again watching the sun rise as she ate breakfast. This time Tommy had joined her at the entrance of the room, pulling her in for a hug, allowing (y/n) to inhale the scent of his expensive cologne.
Their day together had flown by all too quickly, ending with a quick dinner before they had parted ways, leaving (y/n) with a heavy heart. She didn’t know what it was, but yet she had instantly missed him the second Tommy had left her side, promising to meet her again for breakfast the next morning.
“I have some meetings I can’t miss out on today, but if you want to, we can try to catch some auroras tonight.” The smile playing on Tommy’s lips left (y/n)’s heart skipping beats, already filled with excitement at the mere thought of spending some more time with him.
“Absolutely, wait, let me give you my number, so you can just call or text whenever you’re ready.” She was too focused on reaching for her phone to pick up on the warm smile settling on Tommy’s lips, watching the young woman fumble with her phone. There was something swimming in his pupils that was all too unfamiliar, even to Tommy himself, she was doing something to him he hadn’t ever felt before, not wanting to leave her behind for even a minute.
(Y/n) reached her phone out to Tommy, watching him add his contact as she finished her drink. Their fingers touched as he pushed the phone back towards (y/n), making shudders run down her spine like bolts of lighting striking her body.
“If we’re lucky we can catch a few before midnight, so we can come back before the fireworks.” (Y/n) had almost forgotten that today was new year’s eve, a day she had always disliked, not one for drinking, partying, and staying up for endless hours. With a smile shot Tommy’s way she murmured a soft “Sounds good”, hoping that today would be another day she’d remember for months on end.
……
The cold wind teased their limbs, wrapping itself around the two as they were sitting on a bench, cuddled into their jackets with their eyes focused on the dark sky. For the longest time it had been (y/n)’s dream to see the auroras dance on the night sky, green and blue stripes of light that almost drew tears to her eyes.
“Worth the wait, right?” Tommy’s soft voice broke the silence, momentarily forcing her eyes away from the sky. He was sitting close to her, arm touching hers, leaving her feeling all too comfortable around the man.
“Definitely. Thank you for taking me here.” Since her eyes wandered back to the sky, (y/n) didn’t pick up on the way Tommy’s eyes flickered down to her cold hands, giving himself a few seconds to overthink his next move before he slowly interlaced his fingers with hers. Her heart skipped a few beats at the touch, making heat rise in her system, eyes momentarily finding his piercing ones.
Both couldn’t stop their smiles from widening, holding onto one another as the auroras kept dancing in the sky. (Y/n) silently prayed that whoever was listening would freeze the moment, not wanting it to end just there and then, not ready to part from Tommy just yet.
“Do you have any new year’s resolutions?” Once her eyes were drawn back to Tommy’s features, studying the man as she thought about his question, a question she had never spared much attention, not believing in resolutions most would forget about after a week or two.
“No, not really. Sometimes I want to be a bit braver, do a few more things to get me out of my shell, take a few more risks. But that’s about it, what about you?” Her breath hitched in her chest as she watched his gaze flicker down to her lips, for just a second, a second (y/n) undoubtedly picked up on.
“What kind of risks?” (Y/n) didn’t understand what was guiding her body, urged on by the unfamiliar tone of Tommy’s voice, moving closer with her gaze set on his lips. The seconds blurring by felt like minutes, hours even, with her heart racing and her breaths stuttering. Would he pull away? Would he stop her from pressing her lips against his?
But Tommy didn’t pull away, one of his hands found her cold cheek, encouraging (y/n) to close the distance between them, softly kissing Tommy. The touch left her panting, not expecting the kiss to make her feel like this. She had never believed in these cheesy descriptions of clashing teeth, fireworks going off in the distance, but now, as Tommy kissed her breathless, taking over the kiss before she could even try to lead, (y/n) couldn’t help but feel just like other people had always described to her.
They didn’t part as Tommy pulled her into his lap, kissing her beneath the colourful night sky, making them feel as if they were reliving a scene from a movie. Neither of them wanted this moment to end, wanting to stay connected till the end of their time. But with shaking heads and aching lungs they eventually had to part, staring at one another with excitement and anticipation laced in their gazes.
“Take me back to the hotel, Tommy.”
……
She had her back arched off the bed, eyes squeezed shut, hands tugging on Tommy’s hair. The man was settled between her thighs, grinning against her naked skin as he ate her out. Tommy touched her as if they had done this numerous times before, careful enough to pick up on the wordless signs her body was throwing his way, though rough enough to let (y/n) choke on her gasps.
“Fuck, Tommy, feels so good, don’t stop, please.” His chuckles vibrated on her skin, leaving (y/n) whining as she tried to hold on, not wanting to give into the sensation just yet. His fingers fucked her fast, curling against her swollen spot whenever he got the chance to. She was putty in his hand, unable to do anything but give into the pull she felt.
Tommy could tell that she was close, about to fall over the edge with his name burning in the tip of her tongue, with her hands balled into fists, and with her lungs struggling to hold onto any air. He held some kind of magic over her, (y/n) had never felt before.
“Look at me, doll, keep those pretty eyes open for me.” These were the last words (y/n) managed to pick up on before she came. Tommy’s tongue kept lapping at her folds, guiding her through her high with a satisfied smile tugging on his lips. A few praises were murmured against her soft skin, fingers lazily fucking into her for a few more moments before he let go of her.
Within seconds Tommy was towering over her once again, lips caught in a heated kiss. They didn’t part ways as she helped him out of his shirt, nails scratching at his skin as he undid his trousers, needing to feel her naked body pressed against his.
“Are you sure you want this? You can always tell me to stop.” He murmured the words against her skin as he kissed his way down her throat, groaning as she wrapped her legs around his waist, pressing her naked cunt against his dark boxer shorts.
“Fuck me, Tommy.” He didn’t need to be told twice, letting go of her to free his cock, grinning as he felt her wide eyes taking in the sight of his twitching length. (Y/n) watched him roll a condom down his cock, aligning himself with her heat before he wrapped his hand around her throat, keeping (y/n) pressed against the mattress.
The eye contact both held was intense, and yet it had something awfully intimate to it, forcing her heart to skip even more beats. Tommy fucked her rough, not holding back as he added more and more speed to his thrusts, fingers tightening their grip around her throat. Her senses were heightened, wondering how far he’d take it with her, and yet she felt awfully safe with him around, knowing that he wouldn’t hurt her in a way she wouldn’t enjoy.
“Such a desperate girl, begging to be fucked.” A whine left (y/n), a sound that made Tommy chuckle against her lips, feeling powerful with her buried underneath him. His lips met hers in an almost rushed kiss as he fucked her, hips meeting hers with every thrust. “You fit so perfectly around me, as if you were made for me.”
“Just for you, Tommy.” A moan left them in unison as her walls fluttered around him, wordlessly begging for more friction, needing to feel his fingers on her clit to give into the sensation threatening to claw through her. (Y/n) felt herself getting lost in his pupils, wide from the lust thumping through his veins, making them appear darker, more dangerous than the piercing colour she was used to.
Both were close to letting go, wordlessly communicating their every thought, knowing that there was no holding back. Tommy let go of her throat to sneak a hand between them, lifting himself to spit onto her pulsing bundle, rubbing her skin with his warm fingers.
With (y/n)’s fingernails clawed into his skin, she came, head thrown back, eyes squeezed shut. Tommy kept fucking her, thrusts perfectly positioned to prolonge the intense sensation. He watched her fall apart with a grin, unable to stop himself from kissing her again before he came, groaning against her mouth.
The sound of fireworks going off ripped them out of their trance, unable to stop laughing as their eyes found the window. Wordlessly they watched the colourful lights alight the sky, still connected with their hearts beating in sync.
“Happy new year, Tommy.” His eyes flickered back down to hers, lips meeting (y/n)’s swollen ones before he repeated her words with a grin glued to his features.

Safety - Tommy Shelby (smut)

Warnings: 18+, smut, unprotected piv, loss of virginity, religious connotations, leaving a convent, doubting faith, friends to lovers
Pairing: Tommy Shelby x fem!reader (3k words)
Tumblr media
Her heels met the ground, hurrying along while she looked back every now and then. Her dark coat managed to hide most of her body as she tried to blend in, avoiding the streets where life was still passing by so late at night. Exhaustion clung to her bones, but she couldn’t stop, couldn’t rest until she would find her way to him. 
She felt naked with her hair no longer covered, without a cross dangling from her neck. Even though she knew she had made the right decision, it still didn’t feel like it. Something seemed to hold her back, perhaps it was God’s disappointment in her, perhaps it was the years she had lost to the convent she was now mourning. Whatever it was, (y/n) knew that she had left a part of herself behind and she wouldn’t ever get it back again. 
Raindrops began to fall from the sky, one by one as if the angels were crying over her betrayal, a broken promise she had once clung to as if it was an artery supplying her heart with blood. She could see The Garrison from afar, luring her closer while the downpour only grew stronger. 
With trembling movements she stumbled into the pub, shuddering as her eyes locked with the pair of blue ones she had been searching for. For a second nobody moved, he looked at her, just like the other men always surrounding him, and she didn’t dare break the silence just yet. A cigarette was hanging between his lips, engulfing him in a thick cloud of smoke that appeared to be one last warning, a chance to turn around and go back to the place she had run from. 
“Sister (y/n).” His raspy voice made her tense, straightening her spine. Tommy’s eyes wandered over her frame, seemingly wondering why she wasn’t wearing her habit. 
“Just (y/n).” Her reply was mumbled, too quiet for anybody to pick up on it.
“What was that?” Tommy leaned back in his chair, almost challenging her. He had known her for years, had watched her grow into the woman she was now, a woman who had always looked at him with something unfamiliar, a longing for freedom he seemed to taste on his tongue but she couldn’t even dare to dream of.
“It’s just (y/n) now.” The words drew a hum from him. And then they were wrapped in silence again until Arthur cleared his throat and rose to his feet.
“How about a drink, aye?” The tall man pushed past her while he offered her a small smile. She didn’t dare reply, didn’t even move while some more rain drops rolled down her cheeks, dripping from her wet strands of hair. 
“Take a seat, (y/n).” Tommy guided her closer while he pointed towards the empty chair Arthur had sat on, right next to him. With slow movements she made her way towards him, avoiding eye contact as if she knew that she’d fall apart the second her eyes found his again. Her body couldn’t get rid of the tension clinging to her, not as she shuffled out of her wet coat to expose the simple blue dress she had received as a birthday gift years ago, not as she took the glass from Arthur with a grateful smile.
“Did you run or did they throw you out?” Arthur’s strong voice rang in her ears, but she didn’t reply. All (y/n) did was drown the drink in one go, welcoming the burn it made her feel, seemingly managing to wake her from her tense state.
“I knew I had to leave, I just didn’t know where else to go.” For the first time since she had found her way closer, (y/n) allowed herself to look at Tommy. Something had always connected the two, something she hadn’t dared to dwell on as she knew it was wrong and speaking against everything she had once promised to cherish.
“You’re safe here.” Tommy’s voice wrapped itself around her, guiding her closer. “I promised you years ago that you can always come here whenever you need it. Nothing has changed about that.”
“Thank you.” Before she could stop herself, she reached out to pat his hand, trying to ignore the tingles shooting up her body as their hands met. She wanted to pull away, not used to feeling a sensation this strong, but something held her close, something that made her relax in the chair, finally. 
“So, what happened? What made you run, eh?” Her teeth nibbled on her lower lip, eyes wide as she thought back to the past few days. 
“It’s your fault really.” Her eyes met Tommy’s again as she whispered the words before clearing her throat. “I guess it all became too much, the lies, the betrayal. I no longer felt safe, especially when I couldn’t do anything for those my sisters seemed to punish for only existing.” 
“I’m not sorry for helping you wake from this feverish dream you were stuck in.”
Her eyes couldn’t stop wandering, taking in her surroundings. Minutes ago they had arrived at his house, he had guided her inside with a hand placed on her lower back as if he was scared that she was close to passing out. Exhaustion clung to her still, but she no longer felt unsafe, no longer felt eyes watching her from afar. 
“Come, you can take my room for the night.” He looked at her with something unreadable swimming in his pupils, waiting for her to follow him through the house. No further words were spoken between them as she stepped into his bedroom, hands crossed in front of her body to stop them from shaking. 
“Thank you, Tommy. I know you don’t have to do this.” He only nodded his head at her before grasping a shirt of his, wordlessly reaching it out for her to take. She pressed the shirt against her chest as if it could protect her from any pain to come. 
“I will get you some tea while you change.” Her body followed the command, undoing the buttons of her dress to let it fall to the ground. For a moment she wondered about taking off her undergarments, slowly shuffling out of them while knowing she wouldn’t be able to catch any sleep with them on. The fabric of his shirt reached her knees, hiding anything his wandering eyes could find in the dimly alight room. The shirt smelled of him, a faint mixture of cigarettes and tea and a hit of something she could only describe as danger. 
Her body still moved without listening to her mind’s command, but just as she was about to sink to her knees for her evening prayer she froze. Would God still listen to her now that she had left the convent? Just the thought made fear rise in her system, close to breaking out in sobs. 
The sound of Tommy nearing ripped her out of her panic, wide eyes finding his confused ones. Slowly, he placed the cup of tea down while seemingly waiting for her to speak up.
“I, uhm,” she fumbled with her fingers. “I don’t know if I am still allowed to pray.”
“Why shouldn’t you be?” (Y/n) had to avert her gaze while blinking away her tears. She sat down on the bed, covering her legs with the blanket before sinking into the covers. 
“Because I’m no longer a nun. I left, selfishly. Why should God still answer my prayers?” Tommy deeply exhaled before moving closer. Carefully he sat down next to her, while she couldn’t help but pick up on the intimacy this situation offered. She had never been this close to a man, Tommy Shelby had always been the only one she had dared to even think of, ever since meeting him all those years ago. And yet she couldn’t help but feel comfortable with him this close, with his shoulder and outer thigh pressed against hers.
“Well, if God no longer answers your prayers because you left a corrupt and unsafe home, then I wouldn’t call him God no more. He is supposed to love and cherish you, especially in times like these.” (Y/n) watched him alight a cigarette, eyes fluttering close as he inhaled. Her fingertips tingled, wanting to reach out to touch him, but she didn’t dare cross that invisible line, not knowing what she was doing. 
“Why are you helping me?” The question was whispered, and yet it filled the bedroom as if a shot had gone off, a sound so loud and strong, she feared the walls would collapse any moment now. Tommy took another drag before the smoke engulfed them once more, picking up every whispered secret.
“I always knew you’d end up here one day. I could see it in your eyes. You never fit in with them, and I was waiting for you to realise it.” The words made an unfamiliar heaviness settle in her bones. Had she really been this oblivious for so long? Had she really fallen for all these lies without thinking twice about them until this very week? “You should get some sleep, (y/n).”
“Can you stay?” The question left her before she could stop the words from leaving her. He froze for a second before he put out the cigarette, piercing eyes wandering over her uncertain features. 
“Have you ever shared a bed with a man, (y/n)?” She could only shake her head, trying to ignore the wave of shame and embarrassment threatening to drown her. Her eyes didn’t leave his frame as he began to undress, offering pieces of the body she had never seen before but could only hope to remember until her life would end. But the second he began to undo his trousers, she had to look away, knowing that she’d burn up from heat otherwise. 
Tommy laid down next to her, with one arm behind his back and his eyes still lingering on her features. She began to shuffle around, unable to bite down her yelp as his warm arm found its way around her waist to pull her into his chest. Tension clung to her for a second before (y/n) slowly began to relax. Deep breaths left her as she calmed herself, fully wrapped up in his comforting scent. 
Warm fingers danced up and down her side, making goosebumps rise on her skin. The shirt of his did little to hide the way she reacted to his touch, but (y/n) was too distracted by him to focus on anything but his closeness.
“There was always something about you, eh? You were always a curious thing, and yet you never spoke up.” She raised her head to look up at Tommy, urged on by the challenging undertone of his words. Without knowing what she was doing, her hand began to wander up his front, until she reached his chin. Carefully, (y/n)’s fingers traced his lips, wondering how it must feel to be kissed by him. 
She had only been kissed once before, by a boy in her childhood years she had once been good friends with. There had been nothing sweet about it, it had only been a press and touch of clumsy lips for a second or two before she had run from him. But now her curiosity spurred her on, desperate for any kind of distraction he’d be able to offer. 
Tommy seemed to pick up on her thoughts all too easily, a hand found the back of her neck to pull her closer. Their lips met softly at first, allowing her to get used to this new sensation. He tasted of whiskey and the cigarette he had just smoked, a taste so addicting she couldn’t help but press even closer. Without breaking the kiss, she pushed herself up his body, straddling his waist to reach his lips without having to stretch her neck.
“Careful there, darling. You know I won’t hold back, I take what I want. Your first time should be sweet, slow, I won’t be able to give you that.” Something close to pain dripped from his words. Tommy’s big hand cupped her cheek, making her feel his warmth, but no matter how many warnings he seemed to speak, (y/n) couldn’t and wouldn’t part from him. 
“I don’t want sweet, Tommy. I just want you. Show me what I’ve been missing out on for all these years.” The words made him groan against her lips, he kissed her again with more pressure this time. Experienced hands tugged the shirt over her head to expose her completely naked body.
Perhaps she was too inexperienced to feel ashamed while being completely bare in front of him, but perhaps it was simply the way he looked at her, taking in every inch of her naked body as if she was a holy appearance, something so divine, Tommy was sure he didn’t deserve seeing it.
Slowly his hands moved up her sides to touch her breasts, letting his thumbs stroke over her hardening nipples. The new sensation made her gasp, back arched further against his touch while she was greedy for more, “You’re so responsive, eh? I knew there was more to you than that habit and cross you seemed to hide behind.” 
While holding eye contact his hands moved down her sides again, finding her naked heat. He brushed his thumb over her bundle of nerves, the touch shot sparks down her spine the second her eyes fluttered close. She had never touched herself, guided by talks of sinning and the fear of disappointing the One, but now (y/n) couldn’t help but curse her naive self for falling for these stories.
Being touched by Tommy felt like being reborn, something so new and sweet, she never wanted the moment to pass by. (Y/n) rolled her hips, pushing herself further into his touch before he decided to flip them around. Her naked back met the spot he had rested on, warm from his heat, letting the mattress mold to her form.
“Keep your eyes on me, darling. Watch me touch you for the first time.” (Y/n) struggled to hold her eyes open, but she didn’t want to protest, didn’t want to speak up while he brushed his fingers through her slit. Tommy stilled for a second, pondering over his choices, before he slowly pressed a finger into her tightness. The touch drew a loud moan from her, torn between the feeling of his thumb circling her bundle and the way he fucked her with his finger.
He had warned her, had told her that he’d take whatever he wanted, but something about this moment felt by far sweeter. Tommy was taking care of her, making sure that she felt comfortable while being pushed closer and closer to something she couldn’t describe with words.
“Tommy,” his name rolled off her tongue as the coil inside of her began to tighten. She wanted to speak another word, but the syllables died on her tongue the second he pushed a second finger into her. Something washed over her, something that made her tighten around his fingers, something that stole her air right from her aching lungs, something that felt so sweet she was aching for it again and again.
“Take a breath, darling.” Her heart was racing as she tried to steady her panting. Tommy pulled away from her to undress, exposing his hard cock to her wide eyes. (Y/n) couldn’t help but shuffle around to reach for him, carefully wrapping her hand around his length, but Tommy’s hand darted out to find her wrist, keeping her from exploring like a lost wanderer stumbling through unfamiliar terrain. 
“This is your last chance to put an end to this, (y/n).” She shook her head at Tommy, too blissed out to speak another word. She wanted this. She needed this. She ached for Tommy Shelby, who seemed all too willing to take the last thing she had cherished until this very evening. 
He pushed her hand away to align himself with her entrance, piercing eyes flickering up to hers one last time before pushing into her. Discomfort stretched itself through (y/n), heavy pants left her while trying to adjust. Tommy sank fully into her, allowing her walls to flutter around him before he pulled back, only to set a slow pace. 
“That’s my girl, you feel perfect.” Heat clung to her, it only grew more fierce with every thrust. She lost herself in the sensation, back arched, fingernails clawed into his shoulder, holding on while the discomfort slowly let go of her shaking body. Something else made its way through her system, something that robbed her of any doubts she still had.
Being fucked by Tommy Shelby felt perfect, fuelled by the groans he let go of, by the way his lips fit against hers to kiss her breathless. It was anything but sinful. (Y/n) was sure that she was about to pass the pearly gates.
“Fucking hell, (y/n). You’re not supposed to feel this good.” His mumbled words made her feel proud, unable to bite down a soft laugh that turned into a moan as he pressed against a spot deep inside of her. Moans kept clawing out of her, over and over again as if it were all those years of doubts and fears finally leaving her.
The sensation she had felt earlier when he had touched her began to arise in her system once more. (Y/n) choked on Tommy’s name, eyes fluttering close to savour the feeling. He kept fucking her, adding more speed to his thrusts to tip her over the edge so he could follow moments later.
Their sounds began to mix together, blurring into something so sweet, she hoped she’d never forget it again. She lost her grip, thrown into the sensation while his sounds guided her, moans that made her walls clench around him. Tommy seemed to lose his strength, hand tightening its grip on the pillow she rested her head on as he pulled out of her, covering her lower stomach with his release.
“Christ,” Tommy mumbled the word as he cleaned her with his old shirt, letting it drop to the ground before pulling her back into his chest. “Are you alright, darling?”
“Mhm, thank you for showing me this, Tommy.” She felt him press a kiss to her scalp before relaxing further. Even though her mind was racing, replaying the past moments, she couldn’t help but sink into his touch, grateful for experiencing something so divine it made her forget all about her pain.

Anyways :3 have fun reading ^^
-----(Before the War, City of Bermingham)
The streets of Birmingham always seemed to move a little slower when you passed through. You’d see the familiar faces, offering them polite smiles and small nods from your carriage window, though your mind was always somewhere else. Your father taught you well—manners, grace, independence—but you never felt quite like the lady everyone saw.
Your father, the Duke, made sure to hire the best-of-bests to teach you everything, Literature, Combat, and Cooking. You were the best at everything as well, although your preferred cooking to which your father gifted you a restaurant of your own on your eighteenth birthday (which you managed perfectly).
At times like this when you'd be looking out the window, you’d often catch sight of Thomas Shelby, the man you secretly adored from afar, standing near his betting shop. His eyes would meet yours for the briefest of moments before he nodded in acknowledgement. It was strange, the way your lives always seemed to brush against each other but never really connected. Your father knew the Shelbys, business of course, but his feelings toward them were mixed. He respected Thomas’s sharp mind, but he didn’t want you getting too close to a man from a family like that. Especially since you were the only thing his wife left him after passing away, he was not risking it.
Not that it mattered at the time. You were, after all, engaged to Billy Kimber, a man of status, a man your father approved of.
"You have arrived Miss" your driver shouted from the outside as your footman opened the door.
"Thank you, Mister" as you jumped out of the carriage to your fiance's house.
You planned to surprise him by visiting him. Bringing along with you the pasta you cooked especially for him. With a small smile, you went forward not knowing that this was where your life would fall apart. Going in you'd see a mess was made in the living room, the maids looked at you a worry as if they warned you not to go upstairs. You slowly go up to see clothes scattered around the staircase and panic ensues in your mind. Finding his room, you slowly open the door a little to only discover Billy entangled with a woman—with your closest friend, no less. The betrayal cut deep, and you didn’t know what to do with the pain. You slowly closed the door as you went downstairs. Billy's groans and your friend imprinted on your mind like torture, you gave one of the maids the pasta and left.
-----
Calling off the wedding, your father cut all connections with Billy. Highly disappointed with his actions as he comforted you. You cried all week, eyes swollen in tears as you curled up to your knees on your bed. You just loved him too much it hurt.
After weeks of torture and isolating yourself. You hear from the maids that a war was in the midst. A sudden idea comes to your mind, as you ran to your father's office. The pain and torture of the memory bruising your kind heart, bringing you to a decision that only made sense at the time—you volunteered for the war effort, not as a soldier, but in a position that still gave you purpose: a culinary officer overseeing the mess halls (an Admin is what your father pushes you to do, but he made his connections make sure you cook too becuase your were very adamant about it).
Your father had connections in the war. Giving you that choice to be in war but not on the field, but still do the thing you loved the most. You buried your heartbreak in the work, letting the chaos of war drown out the memories.
-----(During the War, Meeting Thomas Shelby)
The clang of pots, the smell of food cooking, and the steady rhythm of military life became your new normal. You found comfort in the kitchen, in the work. It was easier to focus on meal preparations, and managing the chefs and budgets than to think about everything else you’d lost. Over time, the carefree, kind girl you used to be slipped away. You became mature, more efficient, and more respected. But there was still a part of you that missed who you had been.
As the day passed by, normal as it may be, you supervised the mess hall as the staff served soldier after soldier. As you passed by the back to oversee the service, a loud bang shattered across the room.
"Danny! Calm down!" A man with blue eyes exclaimed as he tried to pin the bigger man down he flipped all the tables and screamed which echoed through the halls.
You ran out the back of the kitchen and helped the other man, successfully pinning him down to the floor.
"You're alright! Danny!," you spoke in a calm tone to Dannys' ears as he continued heaving. You patted his back and talked him out of his oblivion.
"Wars outside Danny, you're in the mess hall, you're safe here," you whispered as his breathing slowly normalized.
The man with blue eyes looked over you in suprise, as he lifted Danny off the floor who was now apologizing. You said it was alright as you commanded the staff to clean his mess. You knew what the war did to people and this was almost an everyday occurrence in the mess hall.
As nurses escorted Danny out of the mess hall, the man with blue eyes approached you and spoke, "Sorry bout that, Ms. Y/L."
You then turned around to look at him and were surprised to see Thomas Shelby, how could you have missed that? "Mr. Shelby? You serve in the war?" was the only thought in your mind as he stared at you with his icy blue eyes. He nodded, "and you... manage the mess hall," he said with a small smile, you nodded.
This was the only time you two conversed fully, You've always wondered how'd he sound like, your father never really wanted you to approach him so he usually just greets you by tapping his hat and that's that.
However, after this day, Thomas Shelby started appearing in the kitchen almost every day. At first, it was just a glance as he passed by, greeting you as he walked by with his brothers who were smiling at you. But soon, he was offering his help—carrying supplies and staying after meals to clean up. You didn’t question it at first (since every other soldier would do the same, even his brothers), his presence was different, warm to be exact despite this cold war going on. You’d exchange a few words, small talk about the war, but nothing too personal. Yet, there was a quiet understanding between you. You both knew what it was like to feel the weight of the world on your shoulders and soon conversations ran deeper. To you explaining about your mother's passing, to him exchanging the information on how his father left their mother. It felt really warm having him at this times.
------
One evening, as you finished overseeing the evening’s meal preparations, you felt him watching you again. You kept your eyes on the work, your hands steady as you diced vegetables. “You’ve got a habit of being in places you don’t belong,” you remarked, not looking up but knowing he was there.
“And you’ve got a habit of working to the bone, love.” he replied, his voice low but teasing.
You finally looked at him, meeting his eyes. “It’s better than thinking about what’s out there.” you placed the knife down and sat on the edge of the desk.
Thomas nodded, his gaze softening. “I could say the same.” approaching you as he took another pair of knives out, "Mind if I help?" he picked up a potato as he looked at you waiting for your permission.
You shook your head and smiled at him before taking the potato out of his hand, "It's alright, I don't want you hurting yourself like last time." Pointing at his injured fingers.
He chuckles as he places his hands deep in his pocket. "I'll just accompany you then," as he leaned on the desk watching you skillfully slice the vegetables, he was in awe at how your delicate hands seemed so soft even after so long.
He stood there in silence for a while, and then, Arthur and John stepped in, laughter spilling from their lips as they approached.
“Look who it is ey?! The lady chef! Our dear Ms. Y/L” John called out, a teasing lilt in his voice, as he held your hand and kissed it softly. “You’ll be cooking for our wedding feast soon!”
You rolled your eyes, trying to suppress a smile. “You’ll have to find someone to marry first, John.”
Arthur chimed in, grinning widely. “I’m sure if you keep cooking like this, y/n, you’ll have all the men lining up for you.” his strong accent apparent as he spoke.
“Better watch out, Tommy,” Arthur said, glancing back at Thomas with a smirk. “I think you might have competition.” pointing his chin out the window with other men peeping at her. They then quickly hid as Arthur pointed at them, like mice seeing a big scary cat.
You caught Thomas's eye for a moment, and he raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused (annoyed?). “I think you’re the one who should be worried,” he replied dryly, nodding in your direction. “With her cooking, she’ll have any man she wants.” as he looked down, definitely not liking the attention you're getting from other men.
John leaned in closer, a playful glint in his eye. “How about we place a little wager, then ey? I bet you’ll fall for her before the war’s over.”
“What? Me?” Thomas replied, his voice laced with sarcasm. “You’re fucking out of your mind.” chuckling a bit nervously.
“Oh, come on!” John insisted, nudging Thomas playfully. “I’ll bet you a fiver you'll be chasing for her soon. She’s got that way about her, you know?” winking at you.
You couldn’t help but laugh, shaking your head. “I doubt Thomas would ever fold for someone like me," chuckling before contintuing, "but I'm in.” patting the bag of coins in your dress pocket.
Arthur smiled, leaning against the counter with an exaggerated sigh. “What do you say, Tommy?” John pressed, his excitement growing. “Ten Quids? Just for fun.”
Thomas rolled his eyes, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “I’m n't part of this ridiculous bet. I have better things to do.”
“Yeah, like how to not smile at our lovely chef here,” John joked, causing you to blush slightly as you shook your head.
Thomas pushed his brother out, apologising to you, as the two brothers walked walked away, you felt a mix of embarrassment and amusement. The Shelby brothers were relentless, but there was something warm and comforting about their banter. It reminded you of the camaraderie you had lost.
You looked back at Thomas, who seemed to have softened a bit, as he walked towards you once again. “Don’t let them get to you,” you said, attempting to lighten the mood. “They tease because they care.”
He shrugged a flicker of appreciation in his gaze. “They’re n't wrong, though. You've got talent keeping us lot well-fed.” staring at the men outside the window as they ran away. You laughed at that.
“Only as long as you’re not causing too much trouble outside,” you replied, the smile breaking through his cold exterior.
His gaze lingered a moment longer, and you felt something shift in the air, but you were still worlds apart, separated by unspoken words and hidden emotions.
-----
As days passed, Thomas was asked to serve on the field again, but just before he left for the front lines, he did something you didn’t expect.
As he walked through the back kitchen with his hat in hand, he looked at you with concern, his eyes flickering with something you couldn’t quite place. “I don’t usually say things like this,” he began. “But I’ve had my eye on you long before this war.”
Your heart dropped. You didn't expect that Thomas Michael Shelby would have rendered feelings for you. However, you were not ready, not yet, not after the heartbreak you’d been through. “Tommy, I…” you stuttered, fidgeting your fingers behind as you looked him straight in the eye. Tears almost flow to your eyes.
“I know,” he interrupted gently. “I know about what happened with Billy.” As he walked towards you, closing the remaining distance, but making sure there was still space for comfort.
The mention of Billy made your chest tighten, and you looked away. “I'm sorry Tommy, I can’t, not yet. Not after everything…”
He nodded, walking forward a bit more as he kept his eyes on you. “I understand.” As he placed his warm lips on your forehead as you inhaled. You kept your eyes closed as you heard his footsteps go further, opening only when you heard it no more and with that, he was gone.
You sighed as you scolded your heart for not taking such a kind man in your life, but you were hurt, your heart still had that scar. Inhaling the crisp air of the kitchen, trying not to break down and cry, you turned and continued cooking. Thoughts spiralling through your mind.
-----
You exchanged letters after that, brief notes of friendship and support, what you both needed at the time. However, one day, you received a different letter. You opened it knowing it was from your father, Colored crimson red just like how your father loved, you opened it with delight.
Dear Ms. Y/N,
I hope this letter finds you in good health, despite the circumstances surrounding it. It is with profound sadness that I must inform you of your father’s passing. The Duke departed this life earlier this week, leaving behind a legacy that has touched many.
In light of these events, it is imperative that you return home immediately. There are important matters to discuss regarding the estate and your father’s wishes, and I believe it is crucial for you to be present for these conversations.
Please take the necessary steps to join us as soon as possible. Your presence is vital.
Yours sincerely,
Lord Benedict Hargrove
Solicitor to the Duke’s Estate
Tears balled down your cheeks.
You were alone now, you thought. Without your father's power you were now a nobody. This was the least of your care to he honest, you wanted to go home for one last time.
------
With this, you were excused from your duties to attend the succession meeting with your father's connecting family (people you've never met). Leaving the war to go home.
Your father left you a hefty sum of money (possibly all his wealth) and the business he gifted you on your eighteenth birthday. Your relatives scoffed at you for this as they only got material things he owned (which also caused so much). Greedy people, you thought, they never even visited your father before he died and now they're here taking his money. The title was not given to you though, it was given to your male cousin (who was only thirteen). That was fine, you didn't even need the money from him because you had your own, you needed him but that was impossible even with all the money in the world.
-----(After war)
As the dust of war settled and the world slowly began to stitch itself back together, you found yourself in a position you had never anticipated. With the title of Duke passing to your younger cousin, you embraced your independence, leaning into the fortune your father had left you. Your father’s birthday restaurant—your pride and joy—became a symbol of resilience, not only for you but for the entire community.
Determined to build a legacy that would make your father proud, you transformed the establishment into a hub for soldiers returning home, providing meals and solace after the chaos of war. Word spread quickly about the new culinary wonder in Birmingham, and soon your name became synonymous with quality and innovation in the restaurant business. You took risks, introducing bold flavours and dishes that spoke of both tradition and your flair, quickly gaining a loyal clientele that appreciated your artistry.
In a time when women were often relegated to the shadows of men, you stood firm, a woman at the helm of your empire. Your determination and skill earned you respect, not just among the patrons but also from your peers in the industry. You refused to be overshadowed by the legacy of your father or the titles of your male relatives. Instead, you carved your path, proving that you were more than capable of handling the business and the challenges it brought.
Despite the accolades and success, a part of you felt incomplete. You often found yourself gazing out the window of your restaurant, lost in thought, wondering where Tommy went, it has been a year since his last letter. His absence weighed heavily on you, each passing day filled with uncertainty. Did he think of you? Did he know about your father’s passing? Is he... alive? Questions lingered, unanswered, like shadows at the edges of your heart.
-----
The pub was quieter than usual that evening. You stood behind the bar, wiping down a glass as your mind drifted. Life after the war had changed you. You had returned to Birmingham, but you weren’t the same woman who had left. The kindness, the sweetness—you didn’t let it show anymore. People respected you, maybe even feared you, but they didn’t know you. Not anymore.
You bought a pub close to the Shelby business (Sold to you at a lower price due to your name being famous in Bermingham). You didn’t buy it for any sentimental reason. You didn’t expect to ever see Thomas again (although your heart strings it). You convinced yourself he was gone, just like so many others who never returned.
And then, the door creaked open.
At first, you didn’t look up. You were too busy with your thoughts, too used to the routine of tending the bar. But when the room fell silent and some men left, you felt it—a shift in the air. Slowly, you raised your head, and there he was. Thomas Shelby, alive and standing in the doorway, looking very much like a ghost from your past.
For a long moment, neither of you spoke. You just stared, your heart pounding in your chest.
“Tom-Tommy? Y-You’re alive,” you finally whispered, the words catching in your throat.
“I am,” Thomas replied, his voice calm but heavy with something you couldn’t quite name. Guilt, maybe. Regret. “I’m sorry for disappearing…” as he slowly approached you, hands squeezing his Garrison cap.
“Sorry?” You set the glass down with a thud, your hands trembling. “I thought you were dead, Thomas! For a whole year, I thought—” You stopped, choking on your own words. “Why didn’t you come back? Write a letter or something???”
Thomas stepped closer, his eyes never leaving yours. “I didn’t know how. After everything, I wasn’t sure…”
His words broke something inside you. All the emotions you’d been holding back came rushing to the surface, and before you knew it, you were crying—crying. “You left me!” you screamed, the words torn from deep within you. “You left me for months!” as you backed off the counter and flaunted to the cabinet wall.
Without a word, Thomas walks into the bar closing the distance between you, pulling you into his arms (Your customers leaving). You tried to push him away at first, beating your fists against his chest, but he held you tighter, his voice low and soothing. “I’m here now… I’m here.”
You collapsed into him, letting the tears come as he held you close. The world outside didn’t matter anymore. All that mattered was that he was here, and you weren’t alone anymore.
-----(Everyone left the pub, leaving you and Tommy)
Later that night, you sat at a small table in the corner of the pub, the firelight flickering around you. The warmth from the hearth contrasted sharply with the coldness you had felt all year. You and Thomas exchanged glances, words unspoken hanging heavy in the air between you.
He shifted in his seat, running a hand through his hair, the weight of unvoiced confessions lingering between you. “You’re different,” he said finally, his gaze intense. “Stronger. I admire that.”
You couldn’t help but let out a shaky breath, the compliment washing over you. “I had to be,” you replied softly. “After everything…”
The room fell silent again, and you felt the vulnerability creeping in. “I thought you’d forgotten about me,” you admitted, unable to meet his eyes. “After you disappeared, I thought—”
“I could never forget you,” he said, his tone firm. “Not a single day passed without you on my mind. I tried to shove it away, but the thought of you being hurt… it haunted me, it did.”
His confession hung between you like a delicate thread, fragile yet binding. Your heart raced as you met his gaze, the spark of something familiar igniting between you. “and yet you left, but I understand now,” you said, the emotion spilling over (he explained that he had to be admitted to the hospital after receiving a life-threatening wound, putting him in a coma for months and weak for the rest. A reasonable reason for you to forgive him like lightning). “Although, I thought I could never forgive you.” sighing in relief.
“And now?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, a smile slowly tugging his lips.
You took a deep breath, feeling the weight of everything you’d been through. “I-I missed you. Admittedly.” before pausing to look at him. "I missed you, most ardently,"
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Then, out of nowhere, he said, “Then marry me.”
You blinked, sure you hadn’t heard him correctly. “What?”
“Marry me,” Thomas repeated, more sure this time. “I don’t want to waste any more time,” as he stands to walk closer to you.
You stared at him, your heart pounding. You had imagined this moment in so many ways, but not like this. You stood up with him as you looked into his eyes, and realized that you didn’t need time. You had known my answer all along.
“Yes,” You whispered, voice barely audible. “I’ll marry you, but you promise this time? No disappearing?”
He squeezed your hand gently, his eyes shining with sincerity. “I promise. No more running. I’ll fight for you.”
As he placed his hand on your waist with a knowing smile plastered on his face he grinned, pure happiness lighting up his face as he embraced you, lifting you off your feet in a whirlwind of joy. “I’ll make you the happiest woman in Birmingham,” he promised, his voice warm against your ear.
As he set you back down, breaths heaving from the joy you both shared, he placed his left hand on your cheek, gently caressing it. With his icy blue eyes locked onto your lips, he whispered, “May I?”
You nodded, but instead of waiting for him to make the first move, you pulled him closer by his collar, kissing him softly. The deep groan that escaped him sent a thrill through you as he tightened his grip around your waist with his right hand, while his left hand found its way to the back of your neck, deepening the connection.
The kiss was tender yet electric, answering the questions that had lingered in your mind for so long. He missed you, loved you, and that was all you needed. You pressed your forehead against his, feeling the warmth radiating between you.
With a surge of emotion, you kissed him again, this time more passionately, as if trying to pour all the lost time and unspoken words into that moment. The world outside faded away, leaving just the two of you, tangled in each other’s arms, lost in a whirlwind of feelings that had been building for far too long.
------
He groaned, and you held onto his shoulders, anchoring yourself to him as the kiss deepened, the world outside fading away. Good thing the pub was closed because, within moments, you found yourselves on the floor, completely lost in each other, breathless and exposed.
“Fuck, you feel so good, dear,” he moaned, his voice rough and filled with desire as he began to thrust in and out of you. His movements were slow yet deliberate, sending waves of pleasure coursing through your body, each thrust eliciting heavy moans from your lips.
You wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him closer, craving more of him. Every inch of your body pressed together ignited a fire within you, each thrust igniting a deeper longing. His hands explored your curves, fingers grazing your skin, sending shivers down your spine as you met each thrust with your own rhythm.
“Thomas,” you gasped, your head thrown back as the pleasure built, eyes meeting his fiery gaze. There was something primal in his expression, a raw need that matched your own.
He captured your lips again, the kiss becoming a desperate dance of tongues and breaths, a promise of everything you both wanted. With each thrust, he drove you closer to the edge, your body responding to his every move as if it were a well-rehearsed melody.
“I’ve missed… missed you, y/n,” he whispered against your lips, his breath hot and ragged. The weight of those words sank deep into your heart, and you pulled him closer as if the closeness could bridge the gap that time and circumstance had created.
With every thrust, the heat between you intensified, your bodies moving in perfect harmony. You could feel the pressure building deep within you, a coil wound tight, ready to snap.
“Thomas, I—” you gasped, unable to form complete thoughts as pleasure coursed through your veins. Your body responded instinctively, tightening around him, and with a final thrust, you were sent spiralling into bliss, your orgasm crashing over you like a wave.
“Yes, Y/n cum. Cum for me darling, I-fuck” Thomas softly groaned, feeling the way your body clenched around him, drawing him deeper into your warmth. He didn’t stop; he kept thrusting, wanting to prolong the pleasure that enveloped you both. Each movement sent another pulse of ecstasy through you, pushing you to heights you didn’t know existed.
“Please, Tommy” you whimpered, overwhelmed by the sensations, your body teetering on the edge once more. The overstimulation was almost too much, but you craved it, craved him. “I can’t… too much…”
“Just a little more, love,” he murmured, his voice low and sultry, completely lost in the rhythm of your bodies. He thrust harder, deeper, chasing his release, wanting to see you unravel beneath him again.
With a series of slow, deliberate thrusts, you felt the familiar rush build once more. The world around you blurred as you scratched his back. “Thomas!” you cried out, arching your back as the second orgasm hit, sending stars dancing, moaning as you looked straight into his icy blue eyes.
“Y/N!” he gasped, feeling the way you tightened around him again, the sight of you unravelling beneath him igniting a fire within him. He couldn’t hold back any longer, thrusting into you a few more times before he finally reached his climax, spilling himself on your stomach with a low groan.
The room fell silent, save for your heavy breathing as you both heaved from the intensity of what just happened. Thomas slowly withdrew, catching his breath, and a satisfied smile crept onto his lips as he looked down at you, flushed and blissed out.
“I’ll be right back,” he murmured, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on your forehead before rising to clean himself up. You watched as he retrieved a cloth and gently wiped away the remnants of your passion from your skin, careful and tender.
“Thank you,” you whispered, a shy smile tugging at your lips.
He returned to you, covering you with his big coat, the fabric enveloping you in warmth. You nestled against him, both of you laughing softly, the moment feeling almost surreal. You just did it on the floor.
“Quite the way to celebrate our reunion, eh?” he teased, his voice light, yet there was an underlying tenderness in his gaze.
“Definitely not what I expected,” you replied, your laughter echoing in the empty pub.
As you both settled into a comfortable silence, the warmth of the coat and each other enveloping you, the world outside faded away.
-----(Watery Lane)
The next morning, Thomas took you to meet the family. Arthur and John were already waiting when you two arrived, grinning like they’d just won a bet.
“Told ya she’d come around,” John said, elbowing Arthur. “Just took Tommy long enough.”
You laughed, shaking your head as you reached into my pocket and pulled out a small pouch of coins. “Here,” you said with a smile. “Your winnings.”
John chuckled as he pocketed the money, while Arthur grinned at you like you were already part of the family.
Polly watched you from her seat by the fire, her sharp eyes taking in every detail. After a long pause, she spoke. “You’ve got the backbone for this family,” she said looking deep into your eyes as she sighed. “You’ll do just fine,” Polly said approvingly. “You’ve got the strength to keep up with this lot.” puffing another hit on her cigar.
You smiled, feeling, for the first time in a long while, like you were exactly where you were meant to be. Felt like home.
-----(Married to Tommy <3)
Being married to Thomas Shelby meant more than just sharing vows; it meant a newfound power in Birmingham. There was an unspoken fear that rippled through the streets whenever his name was mentioned, and you could feel it. People admired you, not just because of your accomplishments, but because they understood the weight that came with being Mrs. Shelby. Thomas intended to keep you safe, to wrap you in a cocoon of protection that no one dared to breach. The knowledge that no one would dare hurt you, not with him at your side, filled you with a sense of security you had never known before.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, you prepared for Thomas’s return home. You had spent the day tending to the pub, the laughter and chatter of patrons ringing in your ears, but nothing compared to the excitement of having him back in your arms. The warmth of his presence was something you longed for, something that made your heart race just thinking about it.
The door creaked open to your shared home, and there he was—Thomas Michael Shelby, rugged and handsome, the familiar twinkle in his eyes igniting a spark within you. You walked to him, unable to contain your smile as you flung your arms around his neck. “Welcome home, my husband” you whispered, your heart swelling at the sight of him.
He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close, and you felt the world outside fade away. “I missed you, my wife” he murmured against your hair, his breath warm and comforting. Without hesitation, you leaned in, capturing his lips with yours in a soft yet passionate kiss. The moment felt electric, igniting a warmth that spread through your entire being.
As the kiss deepened, you could feel the weight of the day slip away. Thomas’s hands moved to your waist, drawing you closer as if he wanted to meld your bodies into one. You lost yourself in him, the world around you disappearing until it was just the two of you—lost in your universe.
Your heart raced as you pulled back, searching his eyes. There was a hunger there, an undeniable connection that only deepened with each stolen moment you shared. In that instant, you knew that this was where you belonged, wrapped in his arms, feeling utterly cherished.
Thomas leaned in again, this time capturing your lips with more urgency. His kiss was fervent, igniting a fire within you that made your breath hitch. The taste of him lingered on your lips, sweet and intoxicating, and you could feel the pull between you, a magnetic force drawing you ever closer.
He broke the kiss, his forehead resting against yours, his breath heavy. “Let’s not waste any more time,” he said, his voice low and filled with desire as he swept you off your feet. You gasped, both of you laughing softly, placing soft kisses on his neck as he walked up the stairs.
"Oh dear Tommy, I'll always fold like a Makahiya Leaf for you no?" chuckling as you licked his ear eliciting a deep groan from him.
"No worries y/n, I'll wait till you open again like, I always do" as he kicks the door close. As he laid you gently on the bed, the air between you crackled with anticipation. He kissed you as his hands pulled your nightgown up and your hands unbuttoned his vest and polo, leaving both of you naked in minutes (With Thomas in his trousers).
Thomas’s eyes darkened with desire as he took in the sight of you beneath him, the soft glow of the setting sun illuminating your features. You felt your pulse quicken as he leaned down, his breath warm against your skin.
“Just relax, love,” he murmured his voice a deep growl that sent shivers down your spine. He started trailing soft kisses along your collarbone, his lips warm and teasing, igniting every nerve in your body. Each kiss made you arch into him, craving more of his touch.
“Tommy,” you gasped, your fingers threading through his hair as you pulled him closer, urging him to continue. He chuckled softly, clearly enjoying the effect he had on you, and continued his descent, his mouth leaving a trail of heat along your skin.
His kisses travelled lower, savouring every inch of you. As he reached the hem of your dress, he hesitated for just a moment, locking eyes with you, seeking permission. You nodded, breathless with anticipation, and he wasted no time in lifting the fabric, exposing your bare skin to him.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he breathed, his eyes roaming over you as if you were a work of art. With a slow, deliberate motion, he kissed your thighs, igniting a fire within you. You squirmed beneath his touch, the sensation of his lips brushing against your skin almost too much to bear.
“Please, Tommy,” you pleaded, your voice thick with desire. He looked up at you, a wicked grin spreading across his face, before diving in, his mouth exploring you with a fervor that made your back arch off the bed.
His tongue worked magic, teasing and exploring, eliciting gasps and moans that filled the room. You held onto the sheets, desperately trying to ground yourself as waves of pleasure washed over you. The world around you faded away, leaving only the two of you in this intoxicating moment.
“Just like that, love,” he encouraged, his voice muffled against you, and you felt your body respond, tightening around the pleasure he was giving you. He continued to work his magic, his movements expertly bringing you closer to the edge, the tension building deep within you.
As your breath hitched, you could feel the pressure mounting, a delicious tension coiling tighter and tighter until you felt as if you might break. “I’m going to—” you gasped, unable to finish your thought before he intensified his efforts, bringing you over the edge into a blissful climax.
Your body trembled as you rode the waves of ecstasy, calling his name, your fingers digging into his hair as the world around you spun. He didn’t stop, though; he continued to savor you, prolonging your pleasure as the overstimulation sent you spiraling once more.
“Tommy, please,” you gasped, overwhelmed by the sensations, but he only increased the fervor, his mouth working tirelessly. Your body responded, the waves crashing over you again, igniting every nerve ending until you were a quivering mess beneath him.
With a final surge of pleasure, you let go, your second orgasm washing over you like a tidal wave. Both of you lay there, breathless and entangled in each other, the world outside forgotten. Thomas gently kissed your forehead, his clean fingers tracing soothing patterns on your skin as you came down from the high of your shared passion.
He finally pulled back, just enough to meet your gaze. “You alright, love?” he asked, concern lacing his voice, but the smirk on his lips hinted at his satisfaction.
“More than alright,” you replied, a grin breaking across your face as you snuggled into him.
After a moment, he got up to clean up, his movements effortless and casual. You watched him, feeling a warmth swell in your chest. When he returned, he draped a big coat over you, wrapping you in warmth and comfort.
“Ready for round two?” he teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief as you laughed, the sound echoing in the cozy room.
“This is going to be a long night,” you replied, a mischievous glint in your eye as you shifted beneath the warm coat. You could feel the remnants of passion coursing through you, and the sight of Thomas’s relaxed, satisfied posture ignited something within you.
With a playful grin, you pushed him back onto the bed, surprising him. His eyes widened, a mix of curiosity and amusement flashing across his face. “Oh? What’s this, then?” he asked, his voice low and teasing.
“Just returning the favor,” you said with a smirk, your confidence surging as you climbed over him, straddling his hips. His breath caught in his throat, and you could feel the heat radiating from him. You leaned down, capturing his lips in a heated kiss, savoring the taste of him on your tongue.
As you pulled back, you let your hands roam down his chest, feeling the muscles beneath his shirt. “I think it’s time I take care of you, Mr. Shelby,” you whispered, your voice sultry and inviting. You could see his surprise morph into a pleased grin, and he nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
You began trailing kisses down his neck, your lips brushing against his skin, eliciting soft gasps from him. The thrill of being in control sent a rush of adrenaline through you. With each kiss, you worked your way lower, taking your time to explore him, to tease and tantalize.
“Bloody hell,” he breathed, his hands instinctively gripping the sheets as you continued your journey. You could feel the tension building in him, and it fueled your desire to push him further. When you reached the waistband of his trousers, you paused, looking up at him with a playful smile.
“Do you trust me?” you asked, your voice a low murmur. He met your gaze, his icy blue eyes darkening with hunger as he nodded. “Always.”
You leaned down, slowly unbuttoning his trousers, your fingers brushing against his skin. The moment you freed him, you wrapped your hand around him, feeling him pulse in your grasp. You looked up at him, a wicked smile playing on your lips, before taking him into your mouth.
“Y/N,” he groaned, his voice thick with pleasure, and you felt a surge of satisfaction at the sound. You began to move your mouth in a slow, tantalizing rhythm, taking your time to savor him. Each flick of your tongue drew deep moans from him, and you reveled in the power you held.
“God, you feel so good,” he gasped, his hands tangling in your hair, guiding you gently. You picked up the pace, your mouth working him with a fervor that sent shivers through both of you. The sounds he made only spurred you on, pushing you to explore him further.
As you lost yourself in the pleasure of the moment, the world outside faded away, leaving only the two of you, intertwined in this blissful dance. You could feel the tension building within him, and it ignited a fire deep inside you.
“Don’t stop,” he urged, his voice strained, and you obliged, wanting to bring him to the brink. You intensified your movements, your mouth and hands working in perfect harmony as you brought him closer and closer.
With a few final strokes of your tongue, you could feel him tremble beneath you, his breath hitching as he neared his peak. “I’m close,” he warned, his voice thick with need, and you took that as your cue to give it your all.
With one final push, you enveloped him completely, taking him to the edge before he finally released, his moans filling the room as he spilled into your mouth. You swallowed every drop, feeling victorious as you pulled back to meet his gaze.
Thomas lay there, panting, his chest rising and falling as he looked at you with a mix of admiration and desire. “You’re unbelievable,” he breathed, a wide grin spreading across his face.
“Just doing my part,” you teased, wiping your mouth playfully before leaning in to kiss him again, feeling the warmth of his body against yours.
You settled beside him, feeling utterly satisfied and connected. “What do you say we continue this long night?” you suggested, a playful sparkle in your eye.
He chuckled, pulling you closer. “I think I could be convinced.”
With that, the night was filled with love and sense of comfort. Thomas Shelby was all you needed. A man who could wait for a Makahiya Leave open once more and shower her with all his love.
Indeed, he was all you needed.

Tommy loves to grumble And she loves to listen to him
Author's note: I love it when Tommy grumbles, I want to kiss him on the cheeks at that moment Pairing: Thomas Shelby / reader Genre: romance, ironic domesticity with a gangster overlay, fluff .
When He’s Grumbling, There Are a Few Ways to Calm Him Down
Thomas Shelby entered the house like a man preparing for war.
His steps echoed down the corridor, coat slung over his shoulders like a battered suit of armor, his face carved in stone. He didn’t glance around — just let the coat fall onto the armchair with the kind of disdain that made it seem like the furniture had personally offended him.
She heard him from the kitchen. She didn’t need to look — she knew the sound of his grumbling, the weight of his steps, the sharp inhale through his nose when the world dared challenge him.
A button had snagged on his sleeve, and he muttered something under his breath. Quietly, but with the venom of a man tired of everything — of people, noise, bad cigars, and his own patience wearing thin.
She didn’t rush out. Let him stew in his own storm for a minute or two. Let him curse the button, the weather, the weight of his name — and, inevitably, her, if she smiled too soon.
Then, and only then, did she appear at the doorway, graceful as if she had rehearsed her timing.
“You lose another fight to a button, Tommy?” she asked, leaning against the frame, arms crossed with a quiet sort of amusement.
He didn’t look at her. Just gave a disgruntled twitch of his shoulder.
“Buttons. City council. The sky. Everything’s against me today.”
“Strange. Thought you had them all in your pocket.”
Her voice was slow, lazy in the most deliberate way — the kind of calm that drove him mad because it made his anger look childish.
Which was exactly why he always came back to her.
He sank into the chair. Not sat — sank. Like a man dragging the whole day down with him. The lamp cast soft light over his face, drawing shadows under his eyes, over the creases on his brow, those unspoken war-lines no one dared ask about.
“Where are my cigarettes?” he muttered without looking up.
She stood near the window, wrapped in a blanket, cup in hand. Beautiful in the quiet way only women who knew exactly who they were could be.
“You’ve got two hands, two legs and a whole head. Find them yourself.”
No reply. Just a long exhale, as if he could release the whole cursed day through his lungs. She walked over, placed the cup on the table. No fuss. No coddling. Just tea — not whiskey. Whiskey made him meaner. Tea gave him a chance.
“This isn’t whiskey,” he noted dryly, eyeing the cup like it was betrayal.
“It’s better,” she said, sitting next to him. “Whiskey won’t calm you down. I will.”
A breath of a smirk. Barely there.
“You sound sure of yourself.”
“You sound concussed.”
He opened his eyes. That look again — heavy, not cruel. Tired. She knew that look better than anyone. She’d seen it when he came home bleeding, when he stared out windows for hours, when his silence roared louder than his voice.
“You grumble like an old man,” she murmured. “Like the world owes you something and keeps forgetting to pay.”
“It does.”
“You know what’s funny?” she leaned a little closer, shoulder brushing his. “You look dangerous. But really... you’re just exhausted.”
“Exhausted from what?”
“Everything. People. The street. The fucking buttons.”
He said nothing. Just sat there, soaking in her presence like a man crawling out of winter and into warmth.
She didn’t touch him, but he felt her — her calm, her quiet defiance. The kind that didn’t demand, didn’t beg, didn’t fix. Just... stayed. That was what grounded him.
When he grumbled, there were a few known cures:
Cigarettes.
Silence.
The dark.
Lately, there was a fourth.
Her.
The one who brewed tea like it was medicine.
The one who matched him word for word.
The one who didn’t need him to be anyone but the tired, fraying, furious man he was.
He glanced over.
“You staying?”
“I’m always here, Tommy. Even when you’re too tired to remember it.”
He didn’t smile. Didn’t know how. But his eyes — they softened.
And that was enough.
He grumbled again.
Of course he did. As if silence was too heavy, and words — even angry ones — made the weight of the day sit better on his chest.
“Bloody tea’s gone cold already,” he muttered, pushing the cup aside with a single flick of his fingers. “And the whole bloody room smells like rose soap. When did that happen?”
She didn’t reply.
Just looked at him — long and unreadable — before stepping in close.
Too close.
Tommy squinted. “What are you doing?”
“Interrupting your grumbling,” she said sweetly.
And then — she kissed him.
Not his lips.
His cheek.
Once. Twice. Three times.
Soft, precise little kisses like she was trying to erase every line carved by anger. Left. Right. Near the corner of his mouth. Under the eye he always narrowed when annoyed.
“Stop that,” he said gruffly.
She kissed him again.
“Stop it,” he repeated, turning slightly — so she just followed, kissing the other side.
“This is harassment,” he added flatly, but there was the slightest twitch in the corner of his mouth. The ghost of a smirk.
She ignored the words, leaning in to kiss his temple now, her tone mocking and syrupy:
“Oh no,” she cooed, “the mighty Thomas Shelby is under siege. Attacked by affection. How ever will he survive?”
He huffed, but didn’t pull away.
“D’you make it your life’s mission to be a nuisance?”
“No,” she whispered, pressing a kiss just below his jaw, “just to annoy you.”
“I’m trying to be serious.”
“That’s your problem. You’re always trying.”
He turned to face her fully now, brows low, voice dry.
“You know, most people would be terrified to interrupt me mid-rant.”
She tilted her head, studying his face with a maddening little smile — that maddeningly tender smile that always got under his skin.
“I’m not most people. I’m the woman who kisses your bad moods until they surrender.”
He exhaled through his nose.
Didn’t move.
Didn’t stop her.
Another kiss. Another soft mockery pressed to his brow.
“You’re lucky you’re beautiful,” he muttered.
She grinned, finally sitting down beside him again, curling a leg underneath herself like a cat too satisfied with her chaos.
“I know. You remind me every time you frown.”
He let his head fall back against the chair, eyes slipping closed, voice rasped with something that wasn’t quite defeat but certainly wasn’t war.
“Bloody woman,” he muttered.
“Say it again,” she teased.
“Bloody. Woman.”
And this time, he didn’t even try to hide the smirk
