Saving Grace: Chapter 6 Scorned Lover Part 1

The sound of soft piano music fills my ears and I open my eyes to see Terrell grabbing his phone and turning the alarm off. He looks over to me and smiles, I yawn and sit up smiling back. I know we never made anything official yet but he makes me feel so cared for and safe.

Nothing will happen to me with Terrell by my side.

I feel a surge of energy and happiness overflow me and I crawl over to Terrell who is laying on his back scrolling on his phone. I sling my leg over his waist straddling him. He looks up from his phone raising an eyebrow at me which I return with a soft laugh.

"We have forty minutes until we are supposed to be down in the parlor room waiting to go to dinner with your father." I lean down placing my hands on either side of his head and kiss him. I feel him deepen the kiss which causes an eruption of butterflies in my stomach.

I love the way he kisses me, and I love his full, soft lips.

I feel Terrell wrap his arms around my waist, lift me up from his lap and quickly tuck me under him. I squeal with delight as he lightly presses his body against mine. He continues to kiss me passionately. I wrap my legs up around his hips pulling his body down onto mine increasing his weight on my small frame. Terrell pulls away from our kiss just looking at me smiling. He tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear then leans in and kisses my forehead.

He grabs my legs and pulls them out from around his hips and gets out from between my legs and sits on the edge of the bed putting his feet on the ground. He rubs his face with his palms then glances back at me, a blank expression on his face.

" You can't just kiss me like that and expect me to just keep my composure. I can handle you teasing me, running your hands over my arms and chest, I can handle you undressing in front of me. But once we start touching, and kissing I lose my self control with you. I don't want to hurt you or push you into something you don't want. So I just feel like you need to know what you do to me each time you kiss me." I get up and crawl over to Terrell laying my head on his shoulder. I look into his eyes, one grey one brown, and smile at him.

"T there isn't anything you could ask of me that I wouldn't do. You're the only constant person in my life that makes me feel safe and appreciated. I care about you, T. Don't doubt how I feel about you." I say stroking his cheek with the back of my knuckles. He closes his eyes and leans his head into my fingers.

" Grace I'm glad I make you feel safe, but you need to know that it's my job to protect you. I want to make sure that you know what you're getting yourself into that way you don't get hurt."

" Then tell me more about you so I can get to know you. Cause I doubt there's anything you can tell me that will change how I feel about you, Terrell."

" Okay, but for now, you need to get ready so we will make dinner on time. Let's go!" He laughs and yanks me around his shoulder and onto his lap kisses me then sets me on the floor. I eye him seductively and walk to the bathroom slowly, stopping just inside the door frame, running my fingers up the door.
