Inside You

"What are you thinking about? Is something bothering you?" Tom asked when he noticed that Lucy had a slight frown on her face as they both walked into the bedroom. 

Lucy's brows creased as she turned to look at him, "Kind of."

"Is it still about Anita? Or is this something else?" He asked curiously.

"No. Not her," Lucy quickly assured him.

"So what is it then? Do you want to tell me about it?" He asked as he took her hand in his own and guided her to the couch in the bedroom, where they both sat down.

Lucy cleared her throat, "Uhm, do not take this the wrong way..." She started, and Tom gave her a nod to go ahead.

"I love you, and I love being intimate with you, but can we not do anything sexual for some time?" Lucy asked, and Tom watched her closely before giving her a nod.

"What do you mean by anything sexual?"

"You know... Like, no sex," Lucy swallowed as she said it, her heart beating fast.
