Semua Bab Saving Grace: Bab 61 - Bab 70

The seconds stretched into an eternity as Grace clutched her phone, her thumb hovering over Zeke’s contact. Anxiety coiled in her chest as she pressed the call button. It rang twice before he answered, his voice laced with concern. “Grace? What’s wrong?”Although, there was more of surprise that she was calling him at night like this, as it happened it was her first time of calling him.“It’s urgent,” Grace replied, her voice tense. “Can you come over? I need you to come here, please.” She said with her voice shaking a little. She might have acted all brave and stuff when the man was warning her, trying not to show a side that she knew would make the man even more happy of how vulnerable she was, but right now, after all the encounter, she was scared shitless.Not that she wasn’t scared then, but she just needed to act like she wasn’t, and now, there was no more acting.“What’s going on, Grace? Is anything all right?” He asked her but she just told him what she said before. “Please co

Reading was something Grace had taken up and was doing consistently since she started to come back home early. Somehow, Charlotte had heard about what happened and had said she would always close early no matter what, and she had kept to releasing her early.Right now, she was seated with a hot cup of cocoa in front of her, with blankets around her legs as she sat on the couch with the book in her hand.She was still reading one of those books she had started on when she heard the front door click shut, signaling Noah’s return home. She glanced up from her book, ready to greet him, but his wearied expression immediately caught her attention. His usual vibrant demeanor seemed clouded by an unspoken worry.Whenever Noah was back from work, he would always have a smile readied for her, and he would always want to talk and have fun, but now, he wasn’t at all. He looked as if something was bothering him, and that bothered her.What could have probably happened to a strong man like him that

The morning light streamed into the kitchen as Grace stood by the counter, her fingers tracing the rim of her coffee mug, lost in her thoughts. She thought of how she was going to spend the day now that she wasn’t going to work for the day, but she wasn’t sure of how that would pan out with Noah at home.She had been trying to avoid Noah for a whole week, and she had succeeded, but fate seemed to have other plans because for some reason, he wasn’t going to work today.She didn’t hear him go out or anything this morning, and he wasn’t working afternoons as well, which could only mean he wasn’t going to work.Rubbing her eyes, she drank the remaining coffee in her cup, swallowing it all down in one gulp. She still needed another shot of the caffeine in her body.As she poured herself a cup of coffee, the quiet entrance of Noah disrupted the solitude she had grown accustomed to in the mornings when he was already out of the house to work. She felt a knot form in her stomach at the sight

The warm fragrance of sandalwood and man filled her nostrils, making her want to thread her fingers into the heavy waves of his hair, so she could hold him there and simply breathe in.They had just finished packing and Noah and came to her room to find her, to talk, but somehow, they had ended up in each other’s arms, his tongue down her throat.Her heart stuttered as he released her hands to slide one of his under her hair to the nape of her neck. The first brush of his mouth against hers had sent her eyelids drifting down so she could savor the firm warmth of the lipsHe traced the line between her lips with the tip of his tongue, not invading, just stroking lightly, shifting his weight so his thigh pressed between hers, the thin material of her skirt pulling tight around her hips to accommodate him.Grace moaned as she parted her lips, he swept inside, his tongue teasing the moist flesh of her mouth as he stroked it around, then he moved his leg between her thigh a little bit.It

Back in West Valley Rocks, Grace and Noah became even more discreet about things than ever, but they were doing as Zeke had asked them to be. Things were a bit tough, between going to work, and making sure to close early, and driving back home to ensure no one from Diana came to threaten her again.Noah had insisted actually, but she didn’t want to have to be that scared anymore. Now, she was eased into closing early and getting back home early where it was save.Speaking of Diana, according to Noah, who wanted to meet with her and ask her about sending that man, she was nowhere to be found in town, so maybe she had skipped town, or at least, that was what Grace believed.Anyway, after work today, she had decided to make some pot roast she would be taking with her over to Noah’s parents, as they had invited a small number of people over to their house to celebrate the success of Zeke and his wife’s wedding, and honeymoon.Grace shook her head when she remembered Tammy calling her to i
