*Grace*When the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, I awoke feeling both satisfied and somewhat upset about how things had turned out after my passionate night with David. I stretched languidly, my body still sore and humming with the aftershocks of our sex. It had been everything I'd always fantasized about–David's hands on my body, his lips exploring every inch of my skin, his powerful and chiseled muscles pressing me against the mattress, and yet... I couldn't find true satisfaction in those memories.Yes, it had been the best sex of my life, but still, sleeping on an empty bed afterward only made me more conscious of what I couldn't have. True, I was the one to tell him to leave, but as I realized that was all I could ever expect from him, my mind went down on a spiral I couldn't control.He never lied to me about what he could offer me, never once made me believe he was promising more than just that, but still, I had been fool enough to dream about it.I gro

*Grace*As I stood outside of David's room, my heart pounded in my chest. The conversation between Victoria and Margaret echoed in my mind, their voices dripping with manipulation. They were determined to reunite Victoria and David, but I couldn't let that happen.Even though I had told him that I needed some time to think, I didn't have much left. I had no idea what to expect from my near future, and if Victoria was starting to act now, I had to do something. I couldn't give up on David like that. I needed him. My desires burned for him, overpowering any lingering doubts or fears I had.If he wanted me for just sex, I could do that. I would hide my other feelings for him deep down in my heart, pretending they didn't exist. If that meant I could still have him somehow, so be it.Taking a deep breath, I looked around to make sure no one saw me, and pushed the door open, stepping inside.The sound of water running coming from inside the bathroom caught my attention. The thought of h

*Grace*My voice stuck in my throat as his fingers slipped beneath my panties and pressed against my pussy, spreading the lips wide. I moaned quietly as he rubbed my already wet clit, pressing in all the right places.I was suddenly hot. So hot. And I could barely utter coherent words."We…we can't…not here…"But I couldn't stop him. I couldn't think of anything. I didn't really care what he was doing. I was lost in my own world, the world where desire was the sole ruler.His mouth found my neck, kissing and licking the skin beneath my ear. I let out a quiet moan, my hands somehow finding their way to his shoulders, so I could stead myself.I could feel my juices running through my pussy, soaking my panties and his hand. My heart was racing so fast I thought it might burst from my chest."David, we have to go back," I urged, my vision going slightly blurred as he intensified the rhythm of his fingers."Just come to me and then I can let you go," he purred against my ear. "Show

*David*As I stepped out of the room, still feeling the lingering warmth from Grace's touch, I couldn't help but feel a bit calmer than before. Whenever I was with her, the world outside seemed to cease to exist. She had this talent to make me forget about my problems as soon as she entered my line of sight, and I was starting to find it hard not to get used to this feeling of needing her to comfort me and soothe my thoughts.When I met Grace again for the first time in years and saw the beautiful woman she had turned out to be, I thought the attraction I felt for her was purely sexual. But now that we seemed to be getting closer, I was starting to have different ideas about her. Though I hadn't been able to fully divulge the extent of my troubles to her, just having her near brought me a sense of reassurance and calm I hadn't felt in ages.My thoughts wandered back to the events that had transpired between us during these past few days–our teasing and sexual encounters... I never t

*Grace*The eerie silence of my room enveloped me as I awoke, the space next to me in bed empty and cold. I didn't see when David left the room, but the faint scent of his cologne still lingered in the air, reminding me of our passionate night together. As I lay there, my fingers brushing over the spot where he had been, I couldn't help but reminisce about our conversation last night.I wondered if things were any different, could we have been happy together?"Grace?" a familiar voice called out from beyond my bedroom door. "Are you awake?"I reluctantly forced my eyes open."Yes, Lisa," I replied, recognizing her voice. "I'll be down in a few minutes.""Okay, hun. We're all gathering for breakfast before Sarah leaves," she told me before her footsteps faded away.I sighed, knowing that my time here was drawing to a close. As I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my footsteps seemed heavier than usual, burdened by the sense of impending departure. I dressed quickly, pulling
