I had the next part nearly done too so I’ve been trying to pick it back up in my head. Don’t worry though as I’ve not left it out their in limbo.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!

OMG! I NEED MORE! I see why you’ll be hiding now!
Hello darlings. OMG indeed! I wasn't kidding when I said I'd be hiding. Half of me is giddy over the events because it's something that kept me pacing [so I hope it did you as well] but the other half is just freaking out and saying: Danger! Danger! What the hell are you doing to the characters?! NO! Stop that! ❤ Of course that's not to say that I'll listen, cause it's just too damned fun to plop them into those situations -- but the voice is there all the same.
TITLE: Ice Queen?
CHAPTER NUMBER/ONE SHOT: Part 1 of ?
AUTHOR: ladytwilightmacleod
WHICH TOM/CHARACTER: Actor Tom
GENRE: Romance
FIC SUMMARY: You're attending a LA after-party for The Avengers with a friend. Someone in the cast takes an interest in you. Will you follow your heart or your fears?
RATING: M for future chapter.
AUTHORS NOTES/WARNINGS: NSFW. This idea came to me and has taken on a life of it's own. This is my first attempt at a one shot but it seemed to beg me for more than what I was going for. I hope you like it. This deals with the OC's trust issue with friends and men in general. Other than that I hope you enjoy.
**
You hate crowds and only showed up to this after-party since your friend begged for weeks to join her. If you were honest with yourself, Marvel movies remind you of boring old-school comics. Yet here you are after making it through The Avengers. The promise of meeting RDJ again was the only bright side. Thinking to yourself he has not arrived to the party yet, you follow your friend around the room and try to understand what she hopes to get out of tonight. Oh wait, Tom Hiddleston. Heck she might even catch a man with that low-cut pink dress.
Scanning the room you notice a swarm of media and camera flashes at the entrance. "I'd stay back till they back off," she cautions. "I know how to pass the time and get free drinks while we wait."
A smile spreads across your face at this comment. "You DO know that it's an open bar?" Distracted by some man that caught her eye, she motions you to follow.
In need of a strong drink, you follow her slowly. She needs time to fawn over the man that her sights are set on, for now. While making your way across the room to the bar, you can't help but get annoyed at the guy in front of you. He's so tall you can't see what is going on with your friend. Clearing your throat does no good as the noise is quite loud. You pick up the hem of your forest green dress and move around him, shaking your head for him to see. Tired as you are, your Scottish temper is about to get the best of you.
All eyes are on you as you finally get to the bar. Very hard to hide in a crowd being that you're a redhead and now your ride home is MIA. "Just perfect," you say out loud to the room. Strong drink it is then, but trying to get the bartender's attention is another matter. A light, yet insistent hand suddenly is on your bare shoulder. "We need two drinks over here please." You're thinking to yourself that you've heard that voice before. While you are trying to figure out who it belongs to, the hand that was on your shoulder slowly moves down to your elbow. "So what is the lady having?" that same male voice purrs near your ear and you can't stop your stomach from fluttering. Always the sucker for an English accent. Then it hits you and you turn around a bit to fast for him to move away from you. Your hand comes up and he grabs it to steady you as you look like you might knock over the chair in your haste to turn toward him. Just looking up into those eyes and the smoldering look you are getting causes you to blush. Your friend is going to murder you for this if she catches you.
Looking into that face though, it might just be worth it. If the rumors about him are true. Blue-eyed devil is the first thing that pops into your head. He's watching you as well, breaking out into a sly smile that would melt ice. "Are you going to have a drink or just look ravishing?" Tom asks with a slight laugh. Snapping out of your thoughts, you return his smile. You have to get away from your friend before she catches sight of who are with. "Can we find someplace more quiet? It's so loud here." He nods and you let him know that he can surprise you with any drink as long as it's not a beer."
He leads you outside to a garden and explains someone will bring out our drinks. “I'm Tom Hiddleston in case you didn't watch the whole movie. So are you just visiting the city?" he asks leading you to a bench. "I'm Kim and I'm CA born and raised and the only thing keeping me here is my love of Geology." Looking around you noticed the two of you are alone out in the garden. Before you could ask if it was permitted to be here your drinks arrived. To your surprise, he ordered two glasses of Mead and as if reading your mind the sweet smell of honey filled the air.
"I hope it's to your liking." he commented before taking a drink, all the while watching your face for any reaction you may give away. Taking a quick sip you flash him a small smile. "How did you know what I was craving? Is this an imported version because I have never tasted anything like this. `Tis heaven," eyes closing as you answered with delight. “I am taking a big risk and was hoping you might like it.” He was smiling big at his small victory now.
Someone from inside was calling for him and he grabbed your hand, dragging you as fast as your heels would allow. Once we were out of site of the doors he turned to you with relief. "Sorry about that. I'm rather tired of comments and interviews tonight. Will you trust me?" "That depends. I don't trust just anyone," you replied. "Come back to my hotel room so we can finish our drink?" Tom had such a look on his face that you can only describe as a child begging for a toy. How can one turn down those eyes? You bite down on the inside of you bottom lip when you remember you did not come here alone and she was VERY interested in this man. "Don't worry about your friend. She gave her approval for us to talk and get to know each other better," he said. Your heart skipped a beat that she planned this all along. You could not meet his gaze just yet and his counter was to pull you toward him and he lifted your chin up to meet his eyes. He smelled like musk and sin. You smile and nodded. Before you knew it his lips were mere inches from yours. Ever the gentlemen he waited till you were ok with it.
Moving slowly closed the gap between us and that was all the sign he needed. His kiss was soft and gentle, yet filled with so much more. The pressure from his lips increased and the next thing you know his tongue is coaxing your lips and teeth apart to gain further entry. He tasted like honey and soon your hands are clutching at his arms for support. He breaks contact with your lips, resting his forehead on your own. "So will you come with me now?" he said again in a softer, yet deeper tone than before. You knew he just wanted to make sure your did not change your mind. “Lead the way,” your voice breathy with your new-found desire.
He grabbed his phone and made a quick call asking his driver to bring the car around to the location near the side of the huge house. Offering his arm to you with the most boyish grin. You took it and he led you toward the side where he had the diver pick you up. Near the exit toward the drive he stopped to check for anyone waiting for him to duck out. Tom turned back toward you and smiled again as there was nobody really watching for anyone to make a fast exit. He never let go of your hand as the car pulled up and the two of you ducked into the vehicle and drove off. The small glass of wine you had taken with you on your mad dash towards the car was now gone. Not nearly enough of the liquid, honey gold that you though you needed. Tom noted your expression and handed you his glass. “Finish it off and we can send out for more,” he said. Taking your time finishing it off the two of you made small talk as you tried not to blush at the intense look he gave you. His eyes spoke volumes about his feelings. Before you knew it the car pulled up to his hotel and you quickly finished your wine. He unfolded himself out of the car and offered you his hand. He spoke to the driver about something and handed him a tip before turning his full attention back to you.
Thankfully there was nobody waiting outside at this time of night for pictures or anything and we entered the elegant hotel with no problems. As the two of you crossed the hotel lobby toward the lifts, you started to second guess your decision to come. This was not something you've ever done before with a complete stranger, let alone a celebrity. He must have sensed your resolve was about to shift while waiting for the lift. He squeezed your hand and thanked you again for helping him escape that party. Maybe he's not just looking for a quick fuck with someone he will never see again and only wants to spend time away from prying eyes. The lift arrived and he bowed and allowed you to get in first. Smirking at him you stepped in and he followed, never straying far from your side. As he pressed the button to his floor, you noticed him relax a bit. Was he really worried you would change your mind? “Thank you for coming with me,” he said. Not trusting your voice just yet, you placed your hand back in his and laced your fingers together with his long ones. He turned and bent down to give you a teasing kiss as the lift came to a stop on his floor. He paused and brought his other hand up to run his fingers down your cheek before leading out and down the hall to his room. He let go of your hand briefly to reach into his jacket pocket and grab his key card. He slid the card into the slot and opened the door, grabbing your hand again as soon as the door was open enough to let you in.
His room could only be called a suite in your mind. It was huge! While you were in awe of the size of this suite you were shocked when strong hands spun you back to the door and pressed you up against it. Before you could say anything his mouth was on your lips and taking full advantage of your open mouth gasp in an intense kiss. Desire pooled in your core and sent all your nerves on edge in deep longing. There was no mistaking the hard evidence of his desire for you as it made itself known against your stomach. He broke the kiss with a groan as he tried to calm his breathing. “I'm so, so sorry,” he said. “I never meant to take this so fast. I still owe you that drink.” Before you could get your brain to form a response there was a knock at the door. You excused yourself to the bathroom before he opened the door. You leaned against the counter and looked into the mirror. “What are you doing? This is not like you at all!” Your thoughts could not keep you from hearing that the coast was clear from from the other room. Checking yourself over to make sure you don't show any sign of your crazy emotions and your hair and make-up were ok you step back out into the room.
Tom is waiting with a glass in hand for you, leading you over to the two cozy chairs in the main room. You spy the bottle and are shocked to see he went to all the trouble to send out for another bottle of Mead. Not easy to find in just any corner liquor store. “I did rush you from the party so it was only fair we continue with what I can clearly see your drink of choice.” The smirk on his face made you think he knew you would want to have attention paid to detail to be impressed. Giving him your best sly smile you took a sip, your eyes never backing down from his hopeful expression. “I have to confess something to you,” he said. He held a hand out to you and you took it, once again on guard. “Your friend cornered me tonight before we met. She explained how much she only wanted to bring you to have fun. It only took her pointing me out to you to peek my interest. Once I caught sight of you searching the crowd I knew I had to meet you. I really can't explain it myself. Something in your manner was all it took.”
Taking a drink from his own glass and setting it down on the table near him he took your free hand in both of his. “Please tell me what you are thinking. The more time I spend with you in such a short amount of time, well...” he broke off not letting you look away from him. You set your own glass down on the table on your side and turned back toward him. No man has ever looked at you like this man was. There was no doubt in your mind that he meant every word he spoke. You closed your eyes and took in a deep breath before opening them once again. You thought you saw a flash of fear in his eyes. Your mind made up, you took both his hands in your own and gave him a sly smile. Before he knew what hit him you grabbed his tie and brought him close. “I'm not used to this kind of thing, but you have a way with your expressions that I know is the real deal.” That was all it took for his lips to come crashing down on your own in a kiss that spoke volumes to you. Desire pooled in your core and once again you felt that fluttering in your belly that craved his attentions. He moaned into your mouth when you opened just enough for his demanding tongue to gain entrance into your mouth. He was kneeling in front of you now and one hand came to snake it's way behind your head to bring you even closer towards his body. Coming up for air you both catch your breath. “Please stay with me,” he whispered in such a tone that you could not help but shiver. You were still trying to catch your breath and his lips dropped to the soft spot under your ear, dropping light kisses as he made his way down your neck. Turning your own lips towards his ear you whispered back in a shaky voice, “I will.”
Tom pulled back from you so fast that you could not help the tiny cry of disappointment that escaped your mouth. He held you so that he could search your eyes for any sign of what you could only assume was doubt, keeping both hand locked on your person as he did so. As those eyes searched your face you gave him a shy smile along with a nod and he sighed with relief. Before you knew what hit you he was on his feet pulling you up along with him and wrapping his strong arms around you for another deep kiss. “Please,” you said. Not quite knowing just what you wanted at that moment and it frustrated you. Tom knew and lifted you up off your feet in those arms and you felt like you were some fairy tale princess. The whole world seemed to vanish when you looked into his blue eyes.
Setting you back down on your feet made you wince and shift your weight back and forth from one to the other. You forgot how much these heels were killing you tonight. “Off” he said, motioning to your feet. You obeyed and felt like a child and sheepish with his towering height against your 5 foot 3 inches. He chuckled and forced you backwards till the back of your legs hit the bed. Leaving you for a moment, he turned and took off his tie. You were sitting on the bed and moving backwards and Tom turned to face you again, his look causing you to freeze. “Oh, and where do you think you're going” he asked, advancing towards you quickly. You let out a giggle which quickly turned into a full on laugh, all the while making a small attempt to scramble across to the other side of the bed. Tom caught an ankle and would not let you get away as he continued to devour you with ever darkening eyes. Once caught and he secured your foot you suddenly hear him gasp. Propping yourself up, craning your neck to see what caused him to make such a noise you notice that he was staring at your tiny feet in shock. Maybe it was wonder, you could not tell. “I don't think I've ever seen a foot this small, except on a child,” he said with what you can now label as a bit of wonder. This was a hot topic with you. Everyone always told you that your feet were too small and teased they were bound when you were a kid. You considered them petite in size.
Featherlight kisses on the top of your foot though, brought your thought's back to the present and Tom. He had a way with his eyes that when darkening, caused a shiver to run down your spin. “I have to admit that his eyes are full of desire and it is all directed at me. In this room he was all yours,” you thought. A kernel of doubt seeps into your mind. What if he is just a very good actor and has lured you up here for another reason? “Stop,” you whispered just loud enough for him to hear you. He looked up into your eyes and confusion was written all over his face. “I'm sorry,” he said. “I did not mean to scare you.” Taking a deep breath you bite your bottom lip before looking him in the eye. “No, it's me that is sorry. I can't shake the feeling that I don't feel like giving voice to right now.” You can feel him inching closer to you. He gently takes your hand in his and raises it to his lips for a kiss. Something inside you snaps and you snatch the hand out of his grasp, ignoring the confused look in his eyes.
After gathering your items and putting on your shoes, you make for the door of the suite. You can feel his confusion boring into your back. Hand on the door, you open it to make your escape before the past comes back to haunt you. “I'm sorry, but as much as I desire this, I have been played before. Goodnight and thank you for the Mead.”
I would really love some jagTom pics since I'm without my PC right now and I have no idea when I'll get it back. Tag me if you have any so I can stock up and also cheer myself up.
