Loss and Longing

Grant slid his hand under her top as they kissed and she shivered as he moved his fingers over her skin. She mimicked the move on his body and felt an answering tremor pass through him. The slow exploration went on and on, clothes were stripped off and discarded as they touched and discovered. Then when they were both naked and needy Grant rolled them off the low couch to the floor which was covered in a thick pile rug. He positioned himself over her and leaning up on his elbows, he looked down at her for a moment.

Stevie gazed into his eyes and was fascinated by how changed they were. As she looked into them now, she saw they had a soft touchable quality like teal velvet and she could see the desire in their depths. She reached up and touched his face, tracing the line of his lips. 

Grant lowered his head and as he kissed her and moved above her Stevie felt the world slip away until the only thing she was aware of was the man in her arms. 

Later lying next to him Stevie was thoughtful as she played with his hand. They hadn’t moved from the rug in the living room and lying naked next to him, she was amazed that she didn’t feel self-conscious at all.

“Everything okay?” he asked. 

Turning her head to look at him she smiled. “Perfect” she said.

“Are you always so quiet?” he asked returning her smile.

 “Sorry I was just thinking” she said, looking away again. “This is so unlike me. I normally hesitate and over think everything. As I said I don’t jump into anything, so I’ve surprised myself.”

“Why is that, do you think?”

“I don’t know” she said a slight frown wrinkling her forehead. “But with you, I didn’t feel the need to hold back. I don’t know why.”

He reached out and smoothed out the skin on her forehead with a gentle touch. “I’m glad” he said. Then leaning down to give her a quick kiss, he added “I haven’t been with anyone for a long time, so this is a bit out of the ordinary for me too.”

Rolling over to face him, she said “can I ask you something?” After what they’d just shared and her fast developing feelings for him, she felt the need to understand even a small part of him.

“Sure” he said.

“Why me?” she said “I mean you’ve just said you haven’t been in a relationship for a while, you don’t have many friends, you don’t have any family. I get the feeling you spend a lot of time alone, so why did you let me in?”

Grant’s eyes dropped away from hers.

Going Home

Part 104

Josh followed Grace into the bedroom and once inside with the door closed, he grabbed her arm and spinning her around, pinned her against the wall with his body. Closing his eyes on the sensation of her soft curves pressed against him, Josh groaned. Then with the sense of urgency created by his parents impending return heightening his need, Josh bent his head and gave her a hungry kiss. Easing his body back a little, without breaking the contact with her mouth, Josh’s hands went to work on the belt on her jeans.

While Josh began releasing her clothing Grace used the wall for support as she ran her hands over Josh’s back loving the feel of his toned, muscular body. Moving her hands lower she smoothed them over his butt before moving them back to his hips. Then without taking her hands off his body she brought them around his sides and finding the button of his jeans eased it out of its hole. Next she carefully lowered the zip and finally she pushed them out of the way as she stepped out of her jeans and underwear that Josh has efficiently dispensed with. Raising her arms and placing them around his neck Grace lifted herself up and wrapped her legs around his hips.

His mouth locked on hers and his hands supporting her weight, Josh turned and moved towards the bed. In the small bedroom it was only the matter of a step and lowering her down he covered her. Then muttering her name between kisses, everything including his parent’s was forgotten.

Part 95b

Grace loved that she could get Josh worked up so easily. But in teasing Josh she had ignited a similar burning need in herself and getting onto her knees she slowly closed the distance between them.

Josh watched, his breathing suspended, as Grace edged closer. He was loving the effect she was having but hoped to God she wasn’t just teasing him. After such a tense day she’d already pushed him to his limit.

Smiling at his strained expression, Grace knelt on the seat next to him and putting her arm around his shoulders leant in and kissed his jaw. Then weaving a trail of kisses across his face she whispered in his ear “but I don’t want to stop so I guess you’re the one that’s just going to have to deal with it.”

Josh, was nearly out of his mind with desire now, he was beyond speech and turning his head, his mouth found hers. He kissed her hungrily and helped her as she moved to sit on his lap with her knees either side of him and her back to the steering wheel. Then finding the edge on her skirt Josh ran his hands up her thighs pushing the material up to her waist.

Loving his touch Grace closed her eyes and her head drops back as she savored the sensations running through her body.

He kissed her neck and then, as she leant towards him again, moving his lips back to her mouth, Josh grabbed her hips and pulling her hard against him set about making sure they both get the release of tension they needed.

Part 80

Pulling back to look at him Grace was repentant. “I’m sorry Josh that was not my intention. I just wanted us both to be clear about this. I also wondered if the resolution of your past had had any impact on your thoughts about the future.”

“Not where you’re concerned, nothing will ever change that.”

Loving the sound of that and the unwavering way Josh said it, Grace wanted to make it up to him. So after looking at him for a minute, happy she no longer needed to wonder, she leant in and kissed him.

But Graces kiss set off a need in Josh he couldn’t control and shifting his weight without breaking the kiss Josh moved to lie Grace down and covered her body with his. His desperate longing was born out of fear and it won’t wait even long enough to get to the bedroom. So easing back Josh stared at Grace, his gaze intent, as he rapidly removed her clothing.

As always Josh’s touch induced a similar response from Grace and between his hot almost frantic kisses, she helped him remove his clothing. She was fascinated by the strength of the emotion he was feeling. She had never seen Josh like this, it was like no other time they had been together and if she wasn’t sure before how he felt about her, she certainly was in no doubt now. There was no mistaking the intense emotion driving him or the desperation that he was feeling.

As Josh finished removing their clothes he stared into her eyes for a minute. There was no teasing as would normally happen between them just an overwhelming need and covering Grace again Josh kissed her and lost himself in the feelings only she could evoke.

Part 74

An hour or so later, luxuriating in the bath she’d promised Josh, Grace rested against his chest and said “so how do you feel about everything now?”

Rubbing his hands along her arms, enjoying the feel of her silky wet skin, Josh contemplated her question, “okay I guess, but it’s going to take some time to get used to it. I still haven’t got my head around all that happened.”

Her attention elsewhere, Grace said in an absent tone, “fair enough” as she ran her hands down Josh’s thighs that lay along either side of her body.

Immediately Josh’s hands stopped moving and leaning forward he said in her ear “I’d stop that if I were you, unless you’re prepared to deal with the consequences.”

Laughing Grace moved her hands back further and teased “consequences eh? But what if I like the consequences?”

Closing his eyes for a minute Josh bent his head and kissed her neck, working his way up to her ear.

Loving the feel of his mouth on her body Grace closed her eyes and turning her head she found his mouth and gave him a hot, demanding kiss.

As they kissed, Josh moved his hands from her arms letting them roam over her chest across her abdomen before fitting them around her waist, and then breaking the kiss he lifted her on to his lap.

Later as the water started to cool Grace turned her head and looking at Josh she asked “so was it worth the wait?”

Grinning Josh wrapped his arms around her and kissing her shoulder, he said “oh yes Gracie, most definitely worth the wait.”

Satisfied she’d fulfilled her promise, Grace smiled, content.

Going Home

Part 67

After a few minutes Grace eased back and while watching Josh’s intense expression stepped out of his embrace. Smiling provocatively she took the bag off her shoulder and pulled out the blanket. Then laying it out on the hay she turned around to find Josh right behind her.

Josh was not letting Grace out of arms reach until this was finished and without saying anything he grabbed the bottom of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head. Then dropping the shirt he ran his hands down her sides to her hips and pulled her hard up against his body, his eyes closing on the sensation that ran through him. After a minute he opened his eyes again and lifted Grace to stand on the hay bale in front of him.

Grace stared into Josh’s eyes and even in the dim light could see the desire reflected in them. Reaching down she found the bottom of his top and repeated his action of a few moments ago, lifting it up and over his head. Then placing her hands on his chest, she enjoyed the feel of his toned body beneath her finger tips. His skin felt hot to the touch.  She ran her hands over his chest and shoulders and smiling, Grace wondered if maybe Josh was right about this being dangerous in a hay shed.

Josh watched Grace and holding her gaze moved his hands to the waist band of her jeans. Continuing to look into her eyes he slowly undid her belt. Josh was teasing her by deliberately drawing things out. He knew the anticipation of what was to come, drove her wild and he smiled as he watched her eyes close and her teeth bite down on her lower lip. But this had been building all afternoon and as much as he loved watching her go crazy with desire for him he wasn’t sure how much more he can stand.

Grace was also rapidly approaching her tolerance threshold. As Josh undid her belt she started to shake. He could drive her crazy just by looking at her, let alone touching her, and she had just about reached the limit of her endurance. So in a bid to put an end to his teasing, Grace leant forward and kissed him.

The kiss was hot and deep and now Josh too had had enough. He needed her now and wrapping his arms around her pulled her as close as he could get her.

Grace hooked one arm around his neck and using the other to brace herself, she eased herself down onto the blanket and without breaking the kiss pulled Josh down on top of her.
