Going Home

Part 66

As soon as Josh arrived back at the house, his mind was only on one thing, and striding into the lounge room he found Grace by herself. He stopped directly in front of her with his legs apart and arms his crossed. His gaze bored into hers as he ordered “it’s time.”

Grace smiled and getting up she teased “for our walk do you mean? I don’t know. I’m a bit tired now.”

“Grace” Josh growled.

Laughing Grace relented, “okay come on” and grabbing his hand she lead him out the door and across the veranda. As they passed the veranda railing she picked up a bag hanging on the post.

“What’s that?” Josh asked indicating the bag.

“Oh nothing much.”  

Suspicious, Josh looked at her but in the end her let it ride and asks instead “ok well where are we going?”

“Oh just a little place I heard about.”

“Heard about where?”

“From Robert.”

“What you told him we were coming out here?” Josh asked incredulous, remembering Grace’s concerns the last time.

Smiling Grace said “no of course I didn’t tell him we were coming out here, he just told me about it.”

“Ok so where is it.” Josh asked getting impatient.

“Not far” she said being unhelpful.

Frustrated Josh asks again “where?”   

“Take it easy Josh” Grace laughs “we’re nearly there.”  Then shaking her head as they reached a new looking shed she said “what’s got into you today?”

“You’ve got in to me.” Josh said in a serious tone, and he advanced on her as soon as they are through the door.

Grace loved that she can get to him so easily, and backing away from him playfully she couldn’t resist teasing him a little, “Josh I think I’m going to have to find you a hobby.”

But easily out striding her, Josh grabbed her and pulling her hard up against his body he growled “don’t blame me this time, you’ve started this twice already and this time we’re going to finish it.

Having had her fun Graces expression went serious too as Josh’s body, moving against hers, made her need as great as his. “Well you won’t get an argument from me.”

Smiling Josh said “just as well” and bending, he gave her a searing kiss. Then lifting his head and looking around the shed in the dim moonlight he said “so why here?”

Grace smiled and looked a little sheepish, “well I’ve always wanted to…um…visit a hayshed.”

Josh grinned as he began to understand her meaning. “Oh ok, well let me tell you it’s not as romantic as it sounds hay is scratchy stuff.”

Grace’s smile widened, “I know, that’s why I brought a blanket.”

“Ah thought of everything eh? Well we still may have a problem.”

Frowning Grace asked “what?”

Josh grinned as he moved her backwards towards the hay bales. “Well hay is a very flammable material and the way things are between us we are liable to burn the shed down.”

Laughing Grace wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulling his head down, made him forget everything but her.
