OOM: Room #100 -- for Tommy Gavin

[ikissdhimbck]

Tonight isn't any different than most other nights. Tommy stops in late, long after Kate returns from her nightly chores, washes up, and changes into something clean and comfortable. He brings along dinner, and the two sup together in comfortable silence.

It's been a tiring period for them both. Sometimes a quiet dinner is just what they need.


They're only just finishing up. Soon, she'll tenderly peel him out of his clothes and put him to bed with her, watching over him until he's relaxed enough to fall asleep.

He can't get enough of her laughter. It lightens his soul, reminds him what it's like to have fun again.

So she can flail all she wants, but the most he'll do is switch from the left crook of her neck to the right. He growls against her skin.

"I'd like to see you try..."

Tommy's gotten used to two pairs of watchful eyes whenever he and Kate fool around, but every so now and then, the cats' staring gets the better of him. He can feel their gazes boring into the top of his head-- judging him. Eventually he eases up on his nibbling and overindulgent kissing, and he picks his head up out from the crook of Kate's neck to give the cats a look.

The cats might have saved her after all by providing this momentary distraction.

[ikissdhimbck]

She squeaks at that growl, chills skittering up and down her spine. It's no secret her neck is sensitive; whether or not Tommy knows it, it's the utmost sign of trust that she lets him anywhere near it. Still, instincts kick in, and as he's distracted by the cats she does just as she's taunted.

Her leg hooks around his waist and she pushes against his chest with both hands, stern enough to flip him onto his back. The cats bound for the safety of the pillows as she sits astride him and digs her fingers under his arms.

"Cry mercy!"

[gavin62truck]

Landing on his back, he barks out a surprised yelp when she gets the advantage, and the instant her fingers hit their target, he squirms underneath her and clamps his elbows tight against his sides.

"Like hell I will!"

Oh, he's well aware that he's dealing with an outlaw who knows how to get what she wants.

[ikissdhimbck]

She yanks her fingers free from his trap, giggling under her breath.

"Cry mercy—"

She starts tickling his stomach, leaning closer so he'll be sure to hear her next words over his own laughter.

"—an' I promise I'll git rough with you."

She drops a kiss to the hollow of his throat.

[gavin62truck]

He's caught between a guffaw and a gasp when she murmurs her ultimatum.



Boy howdy, does she know how to get what she wants.

And so he's left speechless-- partially because he's still sputtering up laughter as he grabs halfheartedly at her hands.

"You play dirty, y'know that?"

[ikissdhimbck]

Eventually he catches one hand, and then the other.

She grins at him, breathless and frayed, hair wisping around her face like stray sunbeams.

"Never claimed otherwise."

She stretches over him, heaving stomachs pressed together.

"We got a deal?"

[gavin62truck]

His breathy chuckles fade away but his grin remains, reaching his eyes as he gazes up at her.

"Mmmhm."

Threading their fingers together, he tilts his chin up to snatch a kiss from her lips, his mouth twisting in a smirk when he pulls back.



"Have mercy, baby."

[ikissdhimbck]

She's smiling right back at him.








"I'll think 'bout it."


She can be an awful brat at times.


As her snickers once again fill the air, those fast hands of hers work on making good her promise. She doesn't want his scowl to come back until after morning breaks.
