tommy lillard x female!reader

part one

when you first met tommy lillard, you were immediately taken by him. maybe it was the devilish good looks of his, or his slight southern accent, or his whole cowboy aesthetic.

he was just like the men you’d read about in your books.

he was everything you could ever want in a man… but there was only one issue.

it was already arranged for you to marry another man. it had been set up just a few months ago. gabriel was a good man, of course, very friendly. but, there was something about him, you couldn’t pinpoint it, but something about him was off. you did not want to marry him.

it had been a week or so since avram belinski and tommy lillard arrived in san francisco, and tomorrow avram and rosalie bender, one of your close friends, were to be married.

the rising excitement was causing you to become more nervous. all the preparations reminded you that your own wedding was coming up soon.

it was overwhelming.

and you needed an escape.

which is why you found yourself slipping away from the festivities. you exited the bender home, sighing deeply as you ran a hand through your hair.

a sound caught your attention. you glanced up, noticing the beautiful brown horse tied up a few feet away. a soft smile spread across your lips as you took a few steps toward the creature.

you’d always loved horses. they seemed to be so peaceful, so kind.

you lifted a hand, gently placing it against the horse’s muzzle. you didn’t want to overwhelm the creature, so you took a gentle approach.

“hi there.” you greeted.

the horse huffed, as though greeting you back.

“nice to meet you.” you said with a laugh, you were talking to a horse for goodness sake! your hands traveled across the animals sleek coat, admiring its beauty.

“you’re a pretty one, aren’t you?”

“i think he likes you.”

you jumped, startled by the sound. you turned to see tommy lillard approaching you, a smile on his face.

“i-i’m sorry, i hope i’m not bothering-“

tommy shook his head, “no, no, not at all.” he assured, now standing beside you.

“so.. ya like horses?” it was awkward. this whole encounter was awkward. but you’d rather have an awkward encounter with a handsome cowboy then return to the festivities.

you nodded, “i’ve always been fond of them.” tommy nodded, “ya ever ride one?” “goodness no, my parents would throw a fit.”

the man arched his brows, “and why is that?”

“riding horses is for the men. not the women.”

“bullshit, anyone can ride a horse.” you watched as the man crossed in front of you, untying the reins. you furrowed your brows, “what are you doing?”

“i,” he paused, taking the reins, “am going to teach you to ride.” your eyes widened in surprise, “pardon?”

“you heard me, darlin’.” you felt a blush creep

up your neck at the name. you couldn’t believe it. tommy lillard was going to teach you to ride a horse!

he beckoned you over, “now, to get on, you’re gonna put your foot in this hole here, and you’re gonna hold onto that knob on top of the saddle, ya following?” you nodded, watching intently as he pointed to the specific parts of the saddle.

“once you’re steady, you just pull yourself up. got it?” “i think so.” you replied. “well, go for it.”

you took a step forward, your eyes locked on the saddle as you remembered what tommy had just said. but one thought lurked in your mind, “what if i fall?”

the man sent you a smile, “then i’ll catch you.” now seeing that you were in good hands, you lifted your foot, placing it where it needed to go. you then grasped the knob, holding it tight.

“good, now pull yourself up.” you exhaled deeply, suddenly feeling incredibly nervous. you felt tommy’s hands graze your waist, “i’m right here, i won’t let you fall.” he assured. you nodded, adjusting your grip on the handle before using your strength to heave yourself onto the horseback.

a wave of relief washed over you as you steadied yourself, glancing down to see tommy beaming at you. “there ya go!”

“i did it,” you whispered with a chuckle.

“hell yeah, ya did!”

the man then climbed onto the horse, surprising you as he settled behind you. “whatever are you doing?” you asked.

“teaching you to ride,” he said nonchalantly, taking the reins, “now, place your hands over mine.” you did so. his hands were far larger than yours, warm, you found comfort in his touch.

“right, so what you do now is you just take the reins, and give ‘em a gentle pull, not to harsh unless you want him to take off, okay?” he explained, demonstrating carefully in order to not set the horse in motion. you nodded slowly.

“well, go for it.” he urged, removing his hands from under yours and instead placing them atop, enveloping yours. you took a deep breath, gripping the reins, tugging them softly. the horse let out a soft neigh before it began trotting forward slowly.

tommy let out a laugh, “look at you! you’re a natural!”

“i’ve hardly done anything.” you said, your face flushing red.

“you’ve done enough to show me how good you are.” his voice was soft, gentle. you felt your heart flutter as he moved closer, you could feel the warmth radiating off of him.

“now, let’s see what else ya can do.”

— — — —

“no!”

“yes! i tell ya darlin, i still can’t believe we made it here.”

you let out a laugh, the story of his and avram’s adventure to san francisco still fresh in your mind.

you shifted on the hay you were currently resting on. after riding around with tommy for a while, it had started to rain. it was nice at first, until it began to pour. you’d found an old barn to take shelter in, and now, you were listening to tommy’s stories about all the adventures to go on.

“you live such a crazy life, it’s so eventful.” you said, glancing over at the man laying beside you, who smiled, “yeah, it’s pretty nice.”

the two of you fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound being the rain pounding on the roof.

but this silence was broken quickly, “and what about you?”

“what about me?”

“what do you want?” you furrowed your brows, “huh?”

“what do you want? where do you want to go? what are your desires? i’m a curious fella.”

you let out a sigh.

never had someone asked you that-not the way he was asking it now. but you found them to be the easiest questions in the world.

what do you want? to be with him.

where do you want to go? wherever he goes.

what are your desires? to live a loving life with him.

but you couldn’t say that. could you?

“i don’t know.” you whispered. tommy furrowed his brows, rolling over to face you, “you don’t know? whaddya mean you don’t know? everyone wants something.”

you bit your lip, sighing deeply. “what i want is something i can’t have.”

“and what is it that you want?” his voice was low, he was now gazing at you in a way you’ve never been looked at before.

you felt your heart race, palms sweat. “i..”

he leaned in slightly, “what is it that you want?” he repeated, a little slower this time. your eyes darted to his lips, “you.”

it was a leap, but, you took a chance.

tommy remained silent for a moment, which scared you. were you reading into this too much? had you misunderstood?

“and who says you can’t have me?”

he dipped his head, connecting his lips with yours. you felt as though you were dreaming. never in a million years did you think you’d be here, kissing tommy lillard in a barn of all places.

after a moment, he pulled away, leaving you breathless. you smiled softly, “wow.” “wow is right…” he brushed a stray strand of hair away from your eyes, “you’re a damn good kisser.” you felt your cheeks flush, turning your head slightly.

“hey now, let me see that beautiful face.”

“tommy..”

“darling…” the man grasped your chin gently, lifting your head to meet his gaze, a soft smile toying on his lips, “there’s those pretty eyes.”

why couldn’t it be him? gabriel never complimented you in this way. why couldn’t it be tommy?

why couldn’t he be the man who you were to marry?

— — — —

you didn’t remember falling asleep, but sure enough, you woke up on tommy’s chest, his muscular arms wrapped tightly around you.

the sun was shining brightly, and it was now avram and rosalie’s wedding day. you had awoken tommy, and the two of you had rushed home on horseback, the events of the night going unspoken.

the wedding ceremony had been beautiful. absolutely beautiful, and you’d be lying if you said you hadn’t shed a tear.

you were so happy for avram and rosalie, but you once again found yourself being uncomfortable at the thought of the next wedding beings your own.

the celebration began quickly after, everyone was dancing and having fun, except rosalie’s mother, who hadn’t stopped crying.

and once again, gabriel had been glued to your side. this time, you could not escape. “would you like to dance?” he asked, sounding somewhat annoyed. this was his fifth time asking you. it wasn’t that you didn’t want to dance with him persay, you personally just didn’t enjoy the sport.

“i don’t like to dance, gabriel.” you replied as politely as possible. the man let out a huff, “well would you like a drink then?”

“yes, thank you.” gabriel then left your side for the first time in hours, and you felt somewhat grateful.

you heard someone clear their throat obnoxiously behind you. slowly, you turned, unable to hide your smile. “hi tommy,”

“hey darling. you look very nice today.”

“you don’t look too bad yourself.” you replied. he smiled, hazel eyes flitting from the dance platform to you. you caught on immediately, shaking your head rapidly.

“no.”

“oh come on! it’ll be fun!” he exclaimed. you continued to shake your head, “i don’t dance.”

“everybody dances darling.” you pursed your lips, watching as he extended a hand toward you. “i’ll give ya a kiss if you give me one dance.”

there it was.

“tommy, i can’t-“

“says who?”

you averted eye contact, trying to figure out how to admit the truth that tommy had failed to notice.

“come on darling, i like you, you like me, i’m a sort of respectable man, it would be-“

“tommy, i’m engaged.”

his brows furrowed, hazel eyes narrowing, “you-you’re engaged?” you nodded slowly. the man took a moment to register your words, “so that’s what you meant when you said you couldn’t have what you wanted..”

“i’m sorry, i didn’t think this would go that far..” you were terrified of his reaction. but you ended up feeling surprised.

“well who gives a damn. can’t you call that shit off?”

this was all becoming far too messy. because what you truly wanted was to call off the wedding and be with him.

but you couldn’t. you couldn’t let your family down.

“tommy, i’m sorry… we-we can’t do this.”

you turned to walk away, feeling completely overwhelmed, but felt him grasp your wrist, whirling you around to face him.

he was silent for a moment, his adam’s apple bobbing, “dance with me.”

“i-“

“please. just one dance.” desperation laced his voice, almost begging. you sighed deeply, nodding. he smiled softly.

and for the first time, you danced. you danced the night away with tommy lillard, wishing that you could live in this moment forever…

but it was not to be.

or so you thought.
