Chapter 2
Tom and Ben took a seat on the sofa as the girls ushered them in, Tom the most confused by the situation, Ben not that much better. Jade handed them both a large shot of Whiskey as she and Felix took a seat opposite.
Jade was first to speak;
“I guess we’d better explain...”
The boys remained silent, Tom still not knowing how to handle the situation, unused to curveballs such as this. He wrung his hands together as Jade made the situation a little clearer;
“Me and Felix were best friends in high school... we were both only children and it soon got to the point where our parents were pretty much calling us sisters, and by our Senior year we were practically family...”
Felix cleared her throat, Jade nodding to her to let her take over;
“My Dad was on his own, my Mom passed away when I was a kid. Jade’s Mom was having a hard time with her Dad and they were going through a messy divorce... I guess one thing led to another, you know, my Dad spent a lot of time with her Mom...”
Jade cleared her throat;
“Basically we came home from prom and found my Mom in bed with her Dad, and it was then that they told us that they were a couple. Within a month we’d all moved in together, and the week before we left for college our parents married...”
They looked to Tom and Ben, both stoically sipping their drinks as they took in what they were being told, Felix taking the lead again;
“During college we found that we started to take different paths in life, but through all our troubles we were there for each other”
Tom cleared his throat, finally able to speak;
“So Jade was your friend that was in trouble?”
Felix nodded. He turned to Jade;
“What happened?”
“I was stupid. I had wanted to expand my photography portfolio and I trusted the wrong production company who sent me on the wrong job. I had all my equipment stolen. It meant I couldn’t work, and I was behind on my rent. If it hadn’t been for Felix’s talents shall we say, I would have been homeless”
Tom had heard enough, he got to his feet, stalking to the window as he raked his hands through his hair and let out a deep breath;
“You two are going to be the death of me! Why didn’t you call me? Either of you?”
“Tom, please...” Jade looked at him pleadingly; “I couldn’t call you, I was hired to photograph the underground sex clubs of New York. If I’d filed a police report then I would have had to told the cops where I’d gone, who I’d seen... and there were some important people involved in those places...” she paused to take a deep breath before continuing;
“You and I had drifted apart, I had no idea what city or state you were in, you were always jetting off one place or another on a case... I didn’t know if you were undercover or something and I wouldn’t have wanted to blow it for you”
The apartment descended into a tense silence, Felix and Jade looking a little ashamed at the trouble they’d gotten themselves into, Tom glaring at them, Ben trying to hide his amusement at the situation. It was at that moment that his stomach growled loudly, Tom’s doing the same almost in unison.
“Have you guys eaten?” Felix smirked as she watched them shake their heads; “Lets order some pizza. I don’t know about you Jade but I’m hungry again”
Thirty minutes later their pizza had arrived and they were all crowed onto the one sofa nearest the coffee table, lifting slices out and trailing cheese across each other as they ate. The beers had started flowing and the mood had lifted. Lying back on the soft cushions Tom found Felix curling up next to him, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. They watched as Ben and Jade started to get into an animated discussion about Arctic wildlife, even Tom surprised that Ben actually had an interest in something such as Penguins.
Felix found her eyelids drooping, letting out a loud yawn. The room fell silent as they all waited for the first person to speak up regarding the sleeping arrangements, Felix finally making the decision;
“Jade; you and Ben take the bed. I’m too comfortable and I’m not letting my Tom shaped pillow out of my sight”
Surprised by her decision, Jade was not going to argue. Her fling with Tom was well over, and after spending the last hour pretty much flirting shamelessly with Ben she grinned at Felix as she grabbed Ben’s hand, dragging him off to her bedroom, Ben giving his partner a smile and wave as he was dragged away, leaving Felix and Tom alone.
“You don’t mind me hogging you for the night, do you?” Felix asked
“Not at all, I’m just pleased to see that you are alright” he pressed his lips to her forehead, finally able to relax after a week of worry. He felt her shiver, the skin of her bare arms cool to touch. Lifting her slightly he got up and pulled the curtains closed before grabbing a quilt that was draped over the back of the sofa. He pulled some of the scatter cushions away and let her lie back, draping the quilt over her.
“Are you not going to join me Tom?”
“I...err... thought you might still be sore... not want me pressed up against you?”
She lifted the quilt aside and watched as he toed his boots off and climbed in next to her, wrapping his arms around her as she nuzzled against his chest. Inhaling deeply his scent made her feel safe, the sound of his heartbeat a strong and steady rhythm in her ears.
“Tom, I couldn’t think of anything I’d want more than to feel your body pressed to mine”
She slid her hands up inside his t-shirt and rested them on his chest, feeling the smooth skin warm beneath her fingertips. It was at this point their lips met in a tender embrace. Tasting and exploring each other they soon found themselves clinging onto the other until Tom was on top of her, his hips grinding the bulge in his jeans against her hip. She cupped him through his jeans, smiling into the kiss when she felt him press against her palm, the ridge of his cock extending down his thigh as she rubbed him through the denim.
With expert fingers she unzipped him, taking his silky cock into her hand and gently moving the skin until his smooth cockhead was pressing against her wrist. Using the pad of her thumb she smoothing the liquid that had pooled at the tip over the smooth head, a low groan escaping from Tom’s throat as she did so.
“Felix...” his eyes were closed as she watched him, still carefully rubbing his velvety shaft; “I’ve dreamt so many times of this, wanting you alone. I’ve wanted the soft moments like this, other times I’ve dreamt of putting you in my handcuffs and taking you hard and fast”
He opened his eyes and caught her hand in his, pulling it from his cock and lifting her arm to his face, gently kissing the bruises that still showed from her ordeal;
“This time will be a soft moment”
Felix leant forwards and kissed him, a smile on her face;
“Well, not everything is soft...” Glancing down she nodded to his cock that was now pressing against her stomach, leaving a little wet patch against her t-shirt.
With a little difficultly they wriggled out of their clothing, Tom standing to take off his jeans, watching as Felix pulled her t-shirt over her head, revealing her naked breasts to him before he helped pull her Yoga pants down her legs. Both fully naked he climbed back onto the wide sofa next to her, going to pull the quilt over their bodies but stopping when he came to her torso, reaching out when he saw the bruises that still covered her ribcage but stopping before he touched her skin.;
“How are we going to do this? I don’t want to hurt you”
She pondered this thought for a moment before speaking, the words that came from her lips making him even harder;
“I want to ride you, to be able to look into your eyes as you take me over the edge”
Kissing her briefly Tom sat up, helping Felix to her feet. She watched as he got comfortable, sitting back against the soft cushions, grasping his hard cock at its base as she straddled his thighs;
“You’ve put on some muscle since last time...”
“Oh you know, nothing like a few workouts at the gym to relieve some pent up tension”
Instead of a reply she took his cock in hand and positioned it at her entrance, biting her lip as she slowly slid down his length, feeling him stretch her tight channel. When she was finally fully seated she rested her hands on his shoulders, face to face with him as she gazed into his blue eyes that were now dark with lust.
Using her strong thighs she started to rise and fall onto his cock, the thick shaft stretching her each time she slid back down onto him. She watched as he cupped her breasts in his large hands, gently stroking and squeezing them as he ran his thumbs over her nipples, the little buds now hardened peaks beneath his touch.
“You know, I did try to find you after that night”
Felix looked at Tom, taking in his words as she listened carefully, never breaking her rhythm as he continued;
“We did everything off the books, we took your prints from the room, we ran your photo-fit through every database we knew of, you’ve certainly stayed under the radar well all these years...”
She stalled, falling still on his lap as she searched his face;
“Tom, is this your way of interrogating me?”
“No! No of course not. Absolutely not, it’s not like that... what I am trying to say is that you captivated me with that one night, and I tried everything I could to find you... but the trail went cold...” he looked sorry for himself, worried that she was about to jump off and that he’d scared her away;
“I didn’t even know your real name... but it would seem Felix is your real name after all...”
“Actually, it’s Felicia...”
Finally she met his gaze and smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately before pulling away;
“So had you of found me, what were you planning on doing?”
“Well... the first thing I would have done is cuffed you...”
“Oh...”
“Then I’d have bent you over my knee and given you a few swats on the peachy butt of yours for being so hard to find”
She started to bounce up and down again on his cock, arching her back so he rubbed against her g-spot;
“Yes... and then?”
“Then when your butt is as red as a cherry I would have slid my hand between your legs to find you dripping wet”
As he spoke he ran his fingers over her stomach and down to her clit, rubbing against her sensitive little button whilst he continued;
“Once I’d gotten you nice and worked up I would have teased you with my cock, trying to decide which hole to take you in first...”
He felt her velvet walls tremble around him as he spoke;
“Oh you like that do you? The idea of me taking you where ever I liked?”
Felix could only nod, the sensations of his cock and his fingers driving her to the edge quicker than she expected;
“Oh god, yes, don’t stop!”
“Which, talking? Or what I’m doing?” and with that he thrust his hips, plunging his cock deep as he did so.
“Either! Both!”
“I remember that you were a dirty bitch that last time, weren’t you? Happily taking my cock up your ass and then letting me fuck you in full view of all the other hotel room in the gardens the morning after when I caught you sneaking out. Did you like that, me fucking you where everyone and anyone could have seen?”
“Oh yes, YES!”
As he was reminding her of the last night they were together the sensations he was tormenting her body with were all too much and she came with a shout, gripping onto his shoulders and digging her fingernails into his skin, leaving ivory crescents indented into his flesh. As she stilled above him whilst her body shuddered around his hard cock he continued to fuck her, thrusting his hips up as his cock ploughed her tight channel, the sensation as she came getting him closer and closer to release until he finally felt his balls tighten and pull up to his body, his cock shuddering as he came with a groan, emptying himself deep within her.
They rode out their orgasms until they were both spent, exhausted from their activities after both having long and tiring days. Whilst their bodies were still entwined Felix rested her head against Tom’s shoulder, the rise and fall of his chest as he tried to catch his breath matching her own.
Eventually the apartment cooled and he helped her up, tidying themselves after their lovemaking before climbing back under the quilt, wrapping his arms around her as she fell into a contented sleep in his embrace.

When Tom woke he found he was alone under the quilt, the bright morning light pouring in the windows to the lounge, the bright sunlight making his head pound after the beers he had the night before. Hearing a noise he turned and saw Felix emerging from the bathroom dressed in sweatpants and sneakers, her wet hair tied up and away from her sports bra;
“Going somewhere?”
“I’m just going for my jog around the block... plus we need milk for cereal so I’ll pick some up on my way back”
She bent over him and pressed a kiss to his lips, smiling as his hands found their way to her waist and went to pull her onto him, managing to catch herself in time, dodging his grasp as she made her way to the door, grabbing her sweatshirt and stuffing her phone, key and a few dollar bills into the pocket before zipping it up. She gave him a little wave as she silently stepped out the front door, and moments later Tom heard the front door to the building slamming closed.
Folding his arms behind his head Tom lay back against the cushions with a smile on his face and a lightness in his heart. At the moment he wasn’t going to think about the specifics of how things would work out between a cat burglar and a FBI agent, but that was the future. At the apartment was still silent he decided now was the time to take a shower before Jade and Ben woke up and decided to use all the hot water.
Ten minutes later Tom was stood in Jades kitchen as he waited for the coffee machine to produce its dark nectar, pouring the thick black liquid into a mug as he waited for Felix to return.
The sound of screeching tyres drew his attention to the street outside, his law enforcement training recognising that it was not a noise caused by an accident. Quickly stepping over to the window he glanced down at the sidewalk below, dropping his mug at what he saw. Two expensive white Jaguars had pulled up to the kerb, two men standing on the street and pointing Glock Pistols at Felix as she stood with her hands in the air, the carton of milk having fallen to the floor and the white puddle caused by it running into the gutter. A third man got out of the second Jaguar, tall and slim, dressed in a smart tweed suit he strode over to Felix as the other two men watched.
Banging his fists on the window Tom shouted out to stop them;
“NO!”
The tall man looked up and grinned at him, a evil smirk on his face when he recognised Tom before grabbing Felix and pushing her towards the passenger side of his car. Dropping his coffee mug Tom ran for the door, leaving it swinging on its hinges as he sprinted down the stairs and as he drew his gun and flew out of the front door he was greeted by the sight of the two cars speeding off. Firing off the rounds in his .38 he hit the second car, watching as it veered from one side of the road to the other before crashing into a parked SUV.
Running over to the crashed Jaguar he held his weapon up to the driver’s window; it wasn’t the car he wanted. Slumped over the steering wheel the driver was barely conscious, his face bruised from the airbag that had inflated. The passenger had a gunshot to his shoulder, no doubt from Tom’s gun.
As he was dialling 911 Ben appeared at his side, barefoot and in just his Jeans and a t-shirt;
“What happened? Where’s Felix?”
“He took her...”
“You know who it was?”
“I do... very well...”
~*~
As the Jaguar sped along the abandoned morning streets of Manhattan Felix clung to the passenger seat, clawing at the seatbelt so she could fasten herself in. She stared at the driver, unable to believe her eyes.
As they drove at high speed through the Tunnel towards Jersey he grinned at her, looking at her like a Rattlesnake would look at its prey;
“I do believe you took something from me...”
Felix remained silent and let him continue, still shocked at who she was looking at.
“I need you to do a job for me to repay me for what you took”
Finally she found her voice;
“But... but... you’re...”
“You’re right; we haven’t been properly introduced... though I believe you already know my brother rather intimately... Hiddleston... William Hiddleston”
“You’re Tom’s brother?”
“Yes... we’re twins”
He grinned at her as he sped towards the end of the tunnel, flying through the toll booths with his EZPass tag letting them through without a delay, the early morning sunshine doing nothing to warm Felix as she shivered in her seat, wondering what would happen next...
