Going Home

Part 61

Walking back into the room dressed again after her shower Grace smiled as she spotted Josh lying face up on the bed. His feet were on the floor and his arms were spread wide like he’d sat down then just lay back and fell asleep. She noticed he had managed to take off his top, exposing his toned upper body. But he was still wearing his jeans and boots.

Walking over as she rubbed her wet hair with a towel Grace drops the towel and winding her hair into a single strand so it didn’t fall forward on to him she stood between his legs. Then leaning over with one hand planted on either side of his torso she bent lower to gently touch his lips with hers. Even half asleep Josh responded straight away to the touch of her lips on his and unable to help herself Grace increased the pressure and deepened the kiss.

Fully awake now Josh wrapped his arms around Grace and pulled her down on top of him. He wasn’t sure how it happened but he wasn’t at all upset at this turn of events. However just as he was getting serious about what they were doing Grace raised her head.

Having heard Margaret’s voice letting them know dinner was ready, Grace called back to indicate they’d heard then turned back to look at Josh with a smile.

His arms falling back to the bed, Josh groaned and glared at her “that wasn’t nice.”

Smiling at his obvious frustration she pretended not to know what he was talking about “what? It felt pretty nice to me” she teased.

“That’s the problem” Josh growled “you shouldn’t have started something you knew you weren’t going to finish.”

Grace laughed but then looked remorseful “I know Josh and I’m sorry but I just couldn’t help it, you looked so good lying there half naked, I couldn’t resist.”

Groaning again Josh closed his eyes and putting his arms around her held her against him. “Grace don’t” he said “I’m only just hanging on here.” Then opening his eyes and giving her a stern look, he added “but let me tell you what ever you have planned for tonight better be good.”

Laughing again Grace pushed herself up, pulling him to a sitting position in the process. She teased “well you’ll have to wait and see now won’t you.”

But Josh was in no mood for jokes and grabbing her arm before she could move away he warned “Grace?”

Looking at him she decided she’d probably pushed him far enough and running her free hand down his face, her touch tender, she relented “don’t worry Josh it’ll be good, trust me.”

Then standing and giving her a tense smile Josh let her go.

 “Now go shower will you, I’m starving.” she ordered.

Grinning Josh said “oh so am I but I guess we can eat first.”

Smiling Grace shook her head at him and shoved him in the direction of the door.
