Going Home

Part 73

Walking in their front door, it seemed to Grace that they had been away a lot longer than three days. So much had happened in that time it felt like it was a month since they were last here. Continuing on into the bedroom Grace put her bag on the floor. But before she could even open it to unpack, Josh picked her up over his shoulder and carried her into the bathroom.

“Josh” Grace said as he set her on his feet next to the bath “what are you doing?”

Josh grinned “don’t you remember, you have a promise to keep.”

Laughing Grace said “ah yes the bath.” Then raising an eyebrow, she said “obviously all that fresh air has a certain effect on you, I’ll have to remember that.”

But shaking his head Josh said “it’s not the air that had an effect on me, that’s all you.”

 And after pausing a minute, he continued in a thoughtful tone, “although I will admit seeing you in that setting may have had something to do with it. Even now just the thought of you in jeans and boots in that shed is enough to drive me crazy.”

Smiling Grace admitted “well you didn’t look so bad yourself out there.” She ran her hands down his abdomen, her eyes following her hands down before looking back into his eyes when she continued in a seductive voice, “not that you look bad here.”

Without speaking Josh leant in and kissed her. When she talked like that he just couldn’t help himself and picking her up again this time with her legs wrapped around him, Josh carried her back to the bedroom.

Setting her on her feet next to the bed, his mouth left hers and he watched her face as his hands at her waist, found the bottom of her t-shirt and began to explore the soft skin underneath it.

Grace’s closed her eyes and her mind shut down at the sensation his touch created. No one has ever made her feel what he did. With just one touch all her mental processes ceased. But with her last coherent thought she said softly “what about the bath?”

With his lips inches from hers, Josh said “no time, later” and closing the distance, he kissed her as he lay her down on the bed.
